Patient filing lawsuit was an employee of the surgery center at the time of his colonoscopy
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."
The suit also names Eden Hill Surgical Group of Dover, but according to someone who answered a phone number for that business, the practice has since dissolved.
In court papers, Nitsche claimed that as a result of the "severe emotional stress" his client suffered mental anguish, lost wages and loss of earning capacity and is due compensation.
