I don't think they will survive for long before the $3 million runs out.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">physicians</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 26 Aug 2009 17:53:49 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: ZocDoc takes $940K for online doctor appointment booking</title><link>http://deals.venturebeat.com/2009/07/23/zocdoc-takes-940k-for-online-doctor-appointment-booking/#comment-15196276</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I agree it saves me a lot of time.
