The news agency said a doctor refused to treat a patient, named only as Dmitry, who did not speak Estonian.
This marks the second high-profile case of a doctor refusing to treat a patient that did not speak the national language. Earlier this year a doctor was fired for throwing a Russian-speaking patient's passport in the trash bin.
