Andrew Walls from Dover in Delaware woke from a colonoscopy at the Delaware Surgery Center in October 2012 and realised he was the victim of a prank because he was wearing a pink panty when he gained consciousness.

The incident led the 32-year-old, who is also an employee of the surgery center, to file a civil damage suit at the New Castle County Superior Court against his employer. In filing the lawsuit, Walls's lawyer, Gary Nitsche, said "The defendant's extreme and outrageous conduct went beyond all possible bounds of decency."

Nitsche pointed out that Walls was not wearing pink women's undergarments when he submitted himself for the medical procedure nor did he wear the pink panty on himself, intentionally or unintentionally.

The lawyer blamed Walls's colleagues for the prank gone wrong because they failed to keep proper policies and procedures in caring for a patient, specifically in not engaging in extreme and outrageous conduct.

Walls sought damages for emotional stress because he lost his job after the incident over extreme embarrassment.
