What were the objections of the physicians in Lorenzo's Oil?

They didn't have any legitimate objections. In fact, they did nothing to help Lorenzo. They were too busy attending parties and benefits, at which they ate and drank on our dime. They gave lame excuses at every turn, and I agree with the Odone's that they did nothing to help Lorenzo or the children. Anybody can think up a diet, but to find the cause and the specific enzymes, which is what the odones did, is next to impossible, and is what the scientists should have done in the first place. They have wasted so much time doing nothing, and when they put lorenzo thru the radiation treatment where his hari fell out just exemplifies their complete stupidity.
