If the “sixty-four-dollar question” is Googled, this is the result that comes up.
We are using the term as short for, “If couples come to your hospital for help in having a baby, do your people GUARANTEE that they would get it, that they would never be left to try to deliver their baby themselves without any help?“
In an effort to get an answer to this question this is being sent to the people in the various Government Hospitals.
“My wife and I are expecting a baby in about six weeks. If we came to your hospital for help in having it, is it possible for you to guarantee that we’d get it – that we wouldn’t end up having to try to deliver the baby ourselves without any help. There’s been a lot of publicity lately about one couple who went to a certain hospital for help in having their baby and got none and the baby died. I hope you can appreciate our concerns.“
Of course, we don’t believe it’s “difficult or complex to answer” – we believe it comes down to “Yes” or “No.”
