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
Good thing he didn’t wake in Sheriff Joe’s Jail......
I’m still working on understanding the “loss of earnings capacity” angle. Not that’s there’s anything wrong with that.
Sometimes they use general anesthesia if there are bleeding symptoms or whatever. I know.
Be thankful. They may have pictures.
my one colonoscopy I basically was awake and aware the whole time....heard everything they said, felt the tube going in and then them pushing on my stomach, even remember the time.....
The judge should throw out the case and tell the lawyers they are no longer welcome in his court.
If only I had a nickle for every time this happens...
He was employed there? His fellow employees thought this would be funny or something?
I’m waiting for the report that pictures have been taken and posted on social media. This type of thing has happened before.
is that your story, and are you sticking to it?
Which is not true at all.
They knocked me out, but not very far under. I called the doctor Captain Kirk, because she boldly went where no one had gone before.
Is his name Marv Albert?
I can think of worse things having happened after waking from a colonoscopy.
“Walls was employed by the Delaware Surgery Center in Dover when he underwent a colonoscopy procedure at the facility in 2012”
It was a joke, by someone.
For crying out loud.
He knew something was wrong; he had worn black panties to the procedure.
For some, that's simply known as Saturday morning.
