I was speaking English, and the doctor refused to communicate with me, saying, "This is Germany and you should speak German." He then injected me with anesthesia. When I woke up, I was deeply upset and shaken by the experience.

Afterward, I tried to leave a review detailing what happened and called the treatment(not him/her) racist. The doctor rejected my review and responded by claiming, "I have people of color employees in my practice and love speaking English."

My lawyer advised me against pursuing legal action. He said it would be a long, drawn-out process that I might not win in the end. Even now, thinking about it makes me furious.

Thanks. I am pretty sure that they are the ones initiating it though. I mean if I had a restaurant I wouldn't want either to have bad reviews, but it shouldn't be that simple.

Exactly, and at that time I was naive to put my (only first name) name on Google, as it is my only account. And they figured it out from their patients' records and sued me.

Sounds interesting. When I told the case I had to my lawyer friends from the US, they laughed and said it would be funny to have such a case there. So we definitely need something like that.
