Listen to the conversation again as you read the full script:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>{mp3}MedicalAdvice{\/mp3}<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carla<\/strong>: So, how are things going, Steve?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steve<\/strong>: Well, to be honest Carla, I was feeling great on Saturday, but I started to feel sick Sunday afternoon. I thought I&#8217;d get better, but I feel worse than before. And I&#8217;m really worried because I&#8217;m scheduled to give a presentation at work on Friday, so I have to be better by then.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carla<\/strong>: Well, what seems to be the problem?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steve<\/strong>: Well, I thought I had the <a href=\"http:\/\/esl-lab.com\/sick1\/sicscr1.htm#key\">flu<\/a>, but the doctor said it was just a bad cold. He gave me some cold medicine to take care of my <a href=\"http:\/\/esl-lab.com\/sick1\/sicscr1.htm#key\">stuffy<\/a> nose and fever. I&#8217;m <a href=\"http:\/\/esl-lab.com\/sick1\/sicscr1.htm#key\">supposed<\/a> to take the medicine three times a day after eating, but it doesn&#8217;t <a href=\"http:\/\/esl-lab.com\/sick1\/sicscr1.htm#key\">seem<\/a> to help. He also told me to <a href=\"http:\/\/esl-lab.com\/sick1\/sicscr1.htm#key\">stay off my feet<\/a> for a day or so, but I&#8217;m so busy these days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carla<\/strong>: Listen, forget about that medicine! I have just the thing to <a href=\"http:\/\/esl-lab.com\/sick1\/sicscr1.htm#key\">get rid of<\/a> bad colds. You see, my mom is really into herbal medicine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steve<\/strong>: Oh, no thanks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carla<\/strong>: Ah, <a href=\"http:\/\/esl-lab.com\/sick1\/sicscr1.htm#key\">come on<\/a>! Give it a try. You just take some of my mom&#8217;s herbal tea and drink it four times a day. Believe me.
