House Calls in the Digital Age Feeling sick? What if you could order up a doctor the same way you order a pizza or an Uber ride? No schlepping to an office or emergency room, no long lines. Instead, with just a few taps of your touchscreen, a doctor shows up at your door. That’s the concept behind a growing number of house call mobile apps. A new one rolls out in Los Angeles and Orange counties this week.

He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."

And hundreds of positions are unfilled in federal agencies.
