maladi ou genyen an, se pa li ou di doktè

Yon ekpresyon Kreyòl

Maladi w genyen an, se pa li w di doktè
The ailment you have is not the one you tell the doctor
to beat around the bush
To complain about one thing when you really mean to complain about another.

example:
Your wife complains about the house being too small when, in fact, she really wants her mother-in-law moved out of the house.
Maladi l genyen an, se pa li l di doktè
