Ahead. Not only have a few readers come forward to help the family monetarily, but a neurosurgeon, too, has offered to treat the four-month-old for free. Consulting neurosurgeon Dr Shashank Joshi, who works for the Cooper trauma centre, was so moved after reading about Eliza's condition, that he has agreed to take up her entire line of treatment for free. He said, "New techniques are available wherein we can put a small hole inside the brain, which reduces the requirement for a shunt procedure." "We'll have to decide on the line of treatment for Eliza on the basis of her present condition and the treatment given to her so far. We'll then evaluate and take the necessary decisions," said Dr Joshi, who will be examining Eliza on Thursday morning at the Jogeshwari trauma centre. He has previously treated another girl child with a similar condition in 2005.
