My last two were done at UCLA and The Cleveland Clinic. Both were with locals.
The one at UCLA was done by the hematologist who told me they only sedate the kids. The one in Cleveland was done by a PA who does many a day. They offered me a happy pill, but I needed to drive so a local was what they used.
There were three people involved in Cleveland. One was there only to engage me in conversation to distract me. That really helped. Bose type headphones are probably a good idea with the right music for the same effect.
