Augusto Odone:
When we first went to the Comoros, what did we do? We got to know the country, right?
Michaela Odone:
Yes.
Augusto Odone:
We studied, we got to know the language, resources, its law. We studied, right? We should treat Lorenzo's illness like another country.
Michaela Odone:
I don't quite see the analogy.
Augusto Odone:
All right, all right. ALD has many dimensions, right?
Michaela Odone:
Yes
Augusto Odone:
So, in order to understand it, we need to command genetics, biochemistry, microbiology, neurology, ology-ology-ology.
Michaela Odone:
Augusto, we don't have time to go to medical school.
Augusto Odone:
Michaela, the doctors are in the dark. They're groping in the dark. They've got Lorenzo on a turvy-topsy diet. And that bloody immunosuppression is brutal and useless. Michaela, we should not have consigned him blindly into their hands. He should not suffer by our ignorance. We take responsibility. So... we read a little. And we go out and inform ourselves. Hmm.
Michaela Odone:
But... to miss time with him while he can still speak to us... How can…"
Augusto Odone:
Yes, I know, I know. But he expects it of us.
