This mini-documentary, directed by Stiry, explores the profound challenges faced by individuals living with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and the hurdles they encounter within the U.S. healthcare system. Through compelling personal narratives, the film illuminates daily struggles, common misconceptions, and the often-overlooked nature of this complex condition. Expert physicians (2024 POTS and Beyond CME faculty) from leading institutions—including Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins University, University of Utah, Children’s National Hospital, Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, Kennedy Krieger Institute, and Granger Medical Clinic—underscore the need for greater awareness and understanding. They highlight how POTS can drastically affect quality of life despite the absence of outward symptoms, and how a physician’s belief, approach, and treatment can profoundly influence patient outcomes.
