Usage of suggest(verb)
I can see you're not well and so I suggest you see a doctor
I think this sentence is correct because the object "you" immediately follows the verb suggest. Am I right?
I think so because I have learn from different sources that the verb "suggest" should not be followed by an object.

Your sentence is correct as is, but I think "suggest" can be used with an object. It's not inappropriate to say:
"I can see you're not well and so I suggest a visit to the doctor."
"I had a cold and my mum suggested chicken soup."
"Of all the cars you viewed, I suggest the blue one."
"I can see you're not well and so I suggest a visit to the doctor."
"I had a cold and my mum suggested chicken soup."
"Of all the cars you viewed, I suggest the blue one."

User_garyCan I say, "I suggest you to visit the doctor"?No.
Your original sentence had a tacit "that" in it. It is the same as "I can see you're not well, and so I suggest that you see a doctor." You can't say "I suggest that you to see a doctor."
