How can you explain this phrase?

"Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do." Superficially, it is fine to ignore someone if he or she is fine. Deeply, if someone thinks superior to others, then he or she doesn't need to be treated. Literally, he or she is fine and healthy. Does it make sense? Image Credit: i.pinimg.com

The writing on the signboard only means that don't pretend to be sick if you are well and don't bother the doctor unnecessarily.

You have a point. Some people can pretend sick just to take advantage of the kindness of others. Perhaps they also want to feel sympathy selfishly.

@Shavkat Also some people want to exaggerate the pain or feeling they get.

I agree. It is in the Holy Bible. I am amazed that it was transcribed there. I think I need to read again this perfect book.

No more in our days, doctors suggest to have an annual check even if we feel perfectly healthy.

Usually a sick person needs to visit a doctor. A healthy person if he goes to a doctor for a check up then the doctor will think there is something wrong with this person's mind.

In real life, some patients are malingering in nature. Pretending that they are sick or too self-conscious to be healthy.
