Thanks to Technology, Doctors Are Making House Calls Again - NBCNews.com

Let's face it, being sick is a pain, and the last thing you often want to do is drag yourself out of bed to see the doctor or hang around in a waiting room hoping you're next.

What if, instead of these typical scenarios, your doctor came to you?

Now, smartphone apps are not only paving the way for your next Uber ride, but they're also putting you just a click away from your next doctor's visit. It's like the old-school house call for today's busy patients.
