A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
And had suffered many things of many physicians--The expression perhaps does not necessarily refer to the suffering she endured under medical treatment, but to the much varied treatment which she underwent.

and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse--pitiable case, and affectingly aggravated; emblem of our natural state as fallen creatures (Eze 16:5-6), and illustrating the worse than vanity of all human remedies for spiritual maladies (Hos 5:13). The higher design of all our Lord's miracles of healing irresistibly suggests this way of viewing the present case, the propriety of which will still more appear as we proceed.

43 And [2532] a woman [1135] having [5607] [1722] an issue [4511] of blood [129] twelve [1427] years [575] [2094], which [3748] had spent [4321] all [3650] her living [979] upon [1519] physicians [2395], neither [3756] could [2480] be healed [2323] of [5259] any [3762],
