“Sunny days wouldn't be special if it wasn't for rain; joy wouldn't feel so good if it wasn't for pain.”
“According to the doctrine of informed consent, even when it is “for the good” of the patient no one else-neither relative nor expert-may determine for the embodied subject that medical risks are worth taking, what procedures are minimally or excessively invasive, what pain is minor.”
“It never occurred to me to call 911 or my physician. […] As foolish as it may appear, you are, in a sense, a prisoner of the pain, which was intolerable. You're thinking, what could I do to relieve myself of it. If it becomes intense enough, you're perfectly willing to accept cardiac arrest as a possible way of getting rid of the pain.”
“The term 'psychogenic' assumes that medical diagnosis is so perfect that all organic causes of pain can be detected; regrettably, we are far from such infallibility... All too often, the diagnosis of neurosis as the cause of pain hides our ignorance of many aspects of pain medicine.”
“The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is selfcreated as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.”
“When pain can't bless, heaven quits us in despair.”

Torment were a British psychobilly band formed in late 1985 by Simon Brand, Kevin Haynes, and Sean Holder. Their name derived from the flip‑side title of a former Frenzy EP. The band played frequently at London's Klub Foot and released several records on Nervous Records during their core years.
