App Chat: Doctor on Demand gets major funding

We've talked about Doctor on Demand on the show before - and in short, it's a service that allows users to speak with doctors, via video chat, from their smart phones for $40 bucks. Well, that same service just got an infusion of $21 million dollar last week, which interested us here at Take Two in the business of online healthcare. 

We were wondering whether the DOD model works well, and if it's destined to turn healthcare on its head, so we called up Mark Sullivan from Venturebeat. He got on the phone to chat with Alex Cohen about the topic.
