We circ'ed DS with a Mohel at home 8 days after he was born.
I totally get it..... but I don't thik I would be able to stand seeing that. I'd snatch my LO and run lol
They did it at the hospital and I didn't get to see anything...
It was not traumatizing at all, actually.
It is a tradition for us and more of a celebration of a new member in the family. Also our pediatrician happens to be a family friend so he was present along with the Mohel just in case.
Also, many Mohels nowadays perform circ'ing on gentiles, a few of our non-jewish friends have done this and recommend it over using a hospital setting.
