When we first went to the Comoros, what did we do? We got to know the country, right?

Yes.

We studied, we got to know the language, resources, its law. We studied, right? We should treat Lorenzo's illness like another country.

I don't quite see the analogy.

All right, all right. ALD has many dimensions, right?

Yes

So, in order to understand it, we need to command genetics, biochemistry, microbiology, neurology, ology-ology-ology.

Augusto, we don't have time to go to medical school.

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.

But... to miss time with him while he can still speak to us... How can…"

Yes, I know, I know. But he expects it of us.
