Believe me...I'm the biggest wimp in the world when it comes to stuff like this. It was truly nothing. After they gave me my shot, I was flying high as a kite and anything short of a machete wouldn't have given me a second thought.
I think I'd want to be put under. I was given a local anesthetic for getting a wart lasered off of my foot. The smell of my own flesh burning nearly made me pass out. Sure I didn't feel a thing, but there's something about going *sniff* and knowing that what you smell burning is you, well that just about did it for me.
Even being shot with something to make me "high as a kite" - it'd have to be damn good to make me ignore what was going on. I got some gas that was supposed to do that before some dental work. Sure I was acting weird and feeling out of it, but when they started, that sure got me good and focused to the point that the gas might as well have been turned off, so they put me completely under.
Any kind of work going on down south would surely get my full attention. Being conscious for it too, even if not being normally perceptive during the operation still gives me the ability to remember it, only to be horrified/disgusted repeatedly later as the memory plays out.
Just even getting a shot makes my blood pressure drop to the point that the nurse or doctor can just watch the color drain out of me, and at that time I lay down so I don't fall over from dizziness or pass out.
