From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Physician
Asa, afflicted with some bodily malady, "sought not to the Lord
but to the physicians" (2 Chr. 16:12). The physicians" were
those who "practised heathen arts of magic, disavowing
recognized methods of cure, and dissociating the healing art
from dependence on the God of Israel. The sin of Asa was not
therefore, in seeking medical advice, as we understand the
phrase, but in forgetting Jehovah."
