Download My patients fought Aids, I fought the system

Cliff Morrison moved to San Francisco to work as a nurse in the late 1970s, when people around him started dying from a mystery illness. It was the beginning of the Aids epidemic and Cliff found himself on the frontline. He saw how Aids patients were discriminated against and kept in isolation, so he established a special ward where he pioneered a new compassionate approach to caring for them. Cliff went on to implement that model in hospitals across the world.
