"Sa se pa yon maladi doktè non." maladi doktè?

Maladi doktè - a sickness that is treatable by a doctor.

Sa se pa yon maladi doktè non.
This is not a sickness that can be treated by a doctor.

maladi doktè is also known as maladi Bondye
maladi Bondye would be the opposite of maladi lèzòm  

When Haitians tell you that a sickness is not a "maladi doktè", it means that they think your sickness may be caused by a curse, an evil spirit, or as a result of an evil persecution.
