DOVER, Del., A Delaware man's lawsuit alleges he awoke from anesthesia after a colonoscopy procedure to find he had been dressed in a pair of pink panties.
The New Castle County Superior Court lawsuit, filed by attorney Gary Nitsche on behalf of Andrew Walls, 32, said Walls was employed by the Delaware Surgery Center in Dover when he underwent a colonoscopy procedure at the facility in 2012.
Nitsche said his client was put under anesthesia during the procedure and he awoke after surgery to find someone had dressed him in pink women's underwear.
"When the plaintiff initially presented for his colonoscopy he had not been wearing pink women's underwear and at no time did the plaintiff voluntarily, knowingly or intentionally place the pink women's underwear upon himself," the lawsuit states.
Jennifer Anderson, director of the Delaware Surgery Center, declined to comment Wednesday. "We just found out about this yesterday afternoon," she told the News Journal.
The lawsuit, which also names the Eden Hill Surgical Group of Dover, alleges Walls suffered "severe emotional stress," and Nitsche wrote his client is seeking compensation for mental anguish, lost wages and loss of earning capacity

I hate it when that happens.
For breast cancer arareness month?
Arareness awareness all same
awaking from a colonoscopy in pink panties IS an arareness.
I’ve had four colonoscopies and that never happened.
So he works there, had the procedure there.... Sounds like a coworker pulled a prank on him. Guy can’t take a joke. Maybe that was just their way of saying there was nothing wrong, he’s “in the pink.”
As long as he didn’t share the pipe, sharing the undies is not too bad.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, pick up the pink telephone.
I can’t stop laughing. I’d pay $50 to see the expression on his face when found out.
I walked back to another room and dressed myself. I never heard of office staff dressing the patient after a colonoscopy.
I don’t suppose it would have sufficed to say: “Someone put the wrong underwear on me.”
What's that? 50 cents plus 100K$ lawyers fees?
The after procedure fart is what’s really embarrassing......
I wanted to paint my husbands toenails bright red while he was under but the surgeon wouldn’t let me. :)
First: the guy could use a sense of humor. I doubt that he actually woke up in public. So most likely only he and the person that dressed him saw him in pink panties.
Second: if he had not filed this suit no one but himself and the prankster would be aware of his embarrassment unless the prankster put pictures up on his Face Book page. So if this impacts his earning capacity he has no one to blame but himself.
Third: this prank was probably not an act sanctioned by management. Why sue your employer if you are worried about your earning ability?
Sounds like coworkers did it as a joke, but not knowing his relatinoship with others it might not have been quite as funny to him as they meant it, or it might have been “workplace bullying”, which we all know during this administration is much worse than “workplace violence”, which is the go to term instead of terrorism.
Work place practical joke, or his real complaint is he went into the hospital wearing yellow panties.
