Perhaps it's just because I live far from the valley and have never used Uber, but I had to scan the article repeatedly to figure out what the headline meant.

(No, I didn't read it, I simply scanned, I stopped reading after the first sentence. If you cannot bother to tell me in the first sentence why I should continue, I don't. And telling me you visited a website doesn't tell me why you did so. Whatever.)

What does it mean, you ask? That the company described has struck a deal with local physicians to perform on-demand evaluations for medical marijuana prescriptions.

A better headline, less link-baity, would be "Meadow (YC W15) hires doctors for {just in time|on demand|favourite term here} medical marijuana evaluation.

But that wouldn't be as sexy as uberizing, now, would it?
