Lawsuit Filed Against Hospital After Delaware Man Wakes Up From Colonoscopy Wearing Pink Panties

[Initech]

A Dover man who underwent a colonoscopy awoke after the procedure to find he was wearing pink women's underwear, according to a lawsuit.

Plaintiff Andrew Walls, 32, was not pleased, or amused, and this month filed a civil suit in New Castle County Superior Court against the Delaware Surgery Center in Dover seeking damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

"The defendant's extreme and outrageous conduct went beyond all possible bounds of decency," wrote attorney Gary Nitsche in the complaint on behalf of Walls, who was employed at the center at the time.

Delaware Surgery Director Jennifer Anderson declined comment Wednesday saying, "We just found out about this yesterday afternoon."

1. Apparently, it's an assault on his manliness to wear women's undergarments.

5. Goes far beyond that. See below. nt

2. They don't put underwear on you following a colonoscopy

You have the backless gown, and they wrap that back around you and cover you up and roll you into recovery.

He's not much of a man if he can't wear pink.

[Ilsa]

4. It's not funny.

This is a huge breach of trust by medical caregivers.

[Ilsa]

3. I don't blame him for being angry and suing. You are at your

Most vulnerable when you are sedated for procedures or surgery. This was a huge breach of trust for this person's dignity, and because of it, fewer people will get the diagnostic treatment they need.

I hope people are fired over this.
