Answers:

sounds like you're going in for a bronchoscopy. Drs. use a bronchoscope to go down into your lungs and see whats going on. They can also get biopsies, remove foreign objects and remove secretions this way. I've helped assist with this procedure many times and it goes smoothly almost every time! So don't worry...you're young and pretty healthy so things will go great!
I don't know if you'll say anything crazy:) But they don't really let you talk once the process begins. Medical personnel have seen and heard everything so I doubt you can say anything that will be surprising! The drug they use is usually lidocaine and it wears off pretty quick after the procedure is done.
Hope this helps...relax! you'll do splendidly!
