Rare Disease Day
It's bad enough to have a disease that the medical community is aware of and has worked with and treated before, but when you have a disease that your local medical community hasn't heard of or how no experience with then it becomes even more urgent.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone.
