        While this translation works in real life, if you want to be really specific then the 去 (go) should be added as well.

              In my experience, we say "You should go to THE doctor"

                  Would that not connote a mental illness instead of a physical sickness?

                  No, "看病" is a verb meaning either "to see a patient" or "to see a doctor"

                  "You must go see a doctor" should also be accepted!

                  "You need to go see a doctor." is rejected. I don't understand why.

                    应该 means should which makes this sentence more of a suggestion.

                        I feel confused why ".. go see..." can be used in English. "..go to see.." is much better.

                        Americans go see things, British go and see or go to see things.

                        In the Mainland at least, 你应该看病 is more common.
