Actor Miles Teller’s uncle Brian has been a quadriplegic since he was a teenager, going in and out of nursing facilities and dealing with numerous caretakers over the years, something Teller says has always been a challenge.
But after seeing the new AIDS documentary “5B” — which depicts the hospital wing in San Francisco that was the first to care for AIDS patients at the height of the crisis — Teller said he was moved by the film and now hopes for better care and attention from nurses in all parts of healthcare.
“I know firsthand how it goes in there and how much bureaucracy is involved, and also when he has good nurses and good caretakers how much higher his quality of life is,” Teller told TheWrap.
