THE EXPERIENCE
Portland, we’re bringing Suck It Up, Buttercup to you.
Hosted by Orchid Health, PAM CUT’s Tomorrow Theater will welcome the exclusive Portland screening of Suck it Up, Buttercup: Trust and Betrayal – Healthcare in America, a documentary built on real stories from physicians, nurses, patients, and families caught inside a system that keeps asking people to hold it together, even when it’s clearly breaking them.
This film is honest, emotional, and deeply human. If you’ve ever felt that something in healthcare isn’t working the way it should, this conversation is for you.
Special Guests: The Glaucomfleckens
We’re honored to welcome Dr. and Lady Glaucomflecken to the Portland screening. Known for their sharp, unflinching, and often hilarious take on the realities of medicine, they have built one of the most engaged communities in healthcare. Their presence adds another layer to what promises to be a powerful afternoon of conversation and connection.

The U.S. healthcare system is unraveling under the weight of corporate pressure, overwhelming bureaucracy, and a culture that tells clinicians and patients alike to just push through. Through candid interviews and raw, on-the-ground stories, this documentary exposes the failures putting all of us at risk and highlights the people proving that better is possible.
