Sounds like the one I participated in is very similar to your own, humanodon. I was put under a light general anesthesia then they started the procedure to collect lung macrophages with saline. I felt just fine until they administered the general. Then I was nauseous, which kinda ruined the whole experience. They definitely could have done the procedure without the anesthesia, but were just being safe. I think I was paid ~$250 for the procedure which was pretty good money back in gradual school. It was very interesting to see this light pink aspirant full of my cells being pulled into a container. 6/10: would probably do it again if I were a starving graduate student.
