I am not familiar with that case. Can you let us know where it is cited? As far as creating pain by hypnosis or suggestion...of course it could be done and the speed of such an undertaking would probably vary according to the variables that effect most hypnosis outcomes: motivation, perceived authority, context, 'inherant' suggestibility, and skill level of the operator. But, get back to us with the citation and perhaps I can tell you more.
