	Description:		Only on the "CBS This Morning" podcast, two nurses who helped open the first dedicated HIV/AIDS hospital ward in the United States join CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook to discuss the new documentary, "5B." The film focuses on the compassionate care model they implemented in Ward 5B. Alison Moed and Cliff Morrison were among a team of nurses and caregivers who traded in hazmat suits for the human touch to treat AIDS patients with dignity and respect as they faced near-certain death. They share why they showed courage in the wake of the still-mysterious, deadly condition as others incorrectly feared HIV was spread through skin-to-skin contact. Plus, Dr. LaPook shares his own experience treating HIV/AIDS patients in the 1980s and says he suffers from PTSD after losing all of his AIDS patients during that time.
