A traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) physician in Singapore has been awarded S$12,500 in damages following a defamation lawsuit against a former patient. The legal action stemmed from a negative review posted by the patient on Google regarding their experience at the physician's clinic.
The patient had sought treatment at the clinic for acupuncture and other services. Following these sessions, the patient developed weakness in their arm and was subsequently diagnosed with a nerve injury, which led to the critical online commentary that prompted the physician to pursue legal recourse for defamation.
