M: I went to see a doctor this morning for my sore throat, and he prescribed some medicine for me. I can't believe how expensive it is.

W: I know. The cost of medicine has risen recently. If you don't have insurance, it is better just not to take any medicine. By the way, did you try gargling with salt water? That always helps.

M:I did, but it didn't do much good. Anyway, I have to go back to see him in a couple of days. W:Well, take your medicine, and get some good rest. That will make you feel a lot better.

The road conditions outside 'aren't looking too bright this morning.

Those of you who are getting ready for work this morning should seriously consider leaving your cars at home today and using public transportation. This has been Rob with the 7 o'clock traffic update. I'll be back in half an hour with more traffic updates around the city.
