It was not as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, seeing how it was done made it less scary for me. (though I'm sure that most other people would not agree with me).

Re: saw a circumcision today in clinical
yeah...with experienced practitioners, it's really not bad...with the lidocaine and then some sugar water, most babies could care less...
i've also seen many botched..mostly by residents...and a few family practice docs who never do them...and those are just depressing to watch.
