Having got my mother out of hospital she has made good progress over the past 48 hours. I have discovered she has had a long term condition which the hospital ignored and failed to take into account whilst she was there. This is the reason she was deteriorating whilst in hospital.

 

There was nothing they could do for her broken shoulder other than administer painkillers. But over 8 weeks stay they ignored an existing medical condition which needed simple daily treatment, hence she declined in mobility and health. 

 

The day after she got out her own GP visited her, tore up the medication the hospital sent her home with, prescribed what she really needed, and she's showing the first signs of improvement since her fall. 

 

Most of the nurses were good. A couple were just small minded little dictators. The doctors were generally clueless. They looked at the broken shoulder and ignored the rest of her needs. 

 

I'm thinking of trying to get them to move house so in future they can go to a different hospital. When my father was taken ill whilst visiting us he ended up in our local hospital which was excellent. 

 

Issue is the consideration shifts even starting with one ward then onto the next. My father by marriage was conceded quite a while back with a renal issue and left in a bed on one ward where he was disregarded for a really long time, no treatment, no consideration. Therefore he created bed ulcers behind him. They didn't see them until they had become contaminated and difficult.

Then they tranferred him to a renal ward, where the medical caretakers were essentially lethargic and coldhearted. The spot was foul: poo and pee all over the place. Visiting was completely 2pm to 4pm. He was left there in horrendous agony for a long time while the specialists settled on no conclusions about his consideration. In the end the diseases had spread up until this point that he needed to have the two legs excised over the knee. He burned through three weeks on a third ward, for the removals, where the medical caretakers could never have been kinder. The ward was perfect. We could visit when we needed. As far as he might be concerned, those were three blissful weeks in a half year of unadulterated hopelessness. Regrettably, they sent him back to the subsequent ward, however they before long released him after that.

He at no point ever strolled in the future, and needed to use whatever remains of his life in a nursing home.

Stick a couple of these under the back feet - it makes it so much easier to pull it back out by just taking the weight off the front of the machine.

Think some other sportbikes look angular? You haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen the new Bimota KB4 RC. (Bimota/)

When Bimota revealed its KB4 at EICMA 2021, enthusiasts were surprised by its relatively soft look and mild performance, both of which were in direct contrast to Bimota’s aggressive, immensely powerful 2020 Tesi H2. That bike represented Bimota’s return to the motorcycling stage after becoming a member of the Kawasaki Group.

The KB4 is powered by the highly flexible 142 hp edition of the Kawasaki 1,043cc four (77 x 56mm bore and stroke, 11.8:1 compression) and is intended to be a real sportbike in the best Bimota tradition, a combination of a refined chassis and a smooth yet strong engine. The styling is relatively retro, with a rounded top fairing underscoring the bike’s purpose. Bimota also announced a naked edition that was not on display at EICMA 2021.

Notice the lack of radiator in this image. Bimota takes the base Kawasaki and gives it a total makeover. Also note the twin air ducts flanking the chassis; guess where they lead? (Bimota/)

Now we see it, and the result is quite striking. The bike’s key technical specifications are unchanged, yet its exclusive features are more clearly visible and appreciated. This much is undeniably clear: The KB4 RC is definitely a pure cafe racer, and it looks immensely tougher than the earlier dressed edition.

The front view is dominated by a pair of air intakes reminiscent of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom’s. These route cooling air to the engine’s radiator, located diagonally between the seat and the rear wheel. The ducts are specifically shaped to ensure a correct, comfortable seating position for the rider while keeping them insulated from radiator heat. An electric fan located behind the radiator draws in cooling air at low speeds; at higher speeds the ducts’ intakes scoop in plenty of ram air. Once it has cooled the radiator, the hot air exits through a duct at the end of the tail.

The answer to the “where’s the radiator?” question—it’s under the seat. And not a winglet in sight. (Bimota/)

The KB4 RC has a compact 54.7-inch wheelbase. Steering rake is a sport-inspired and relatively steep 24 degrees with 3.97 inches of trail. Both front and rear suspension components are semi-active electronically controlled Marzocchi units, a 50mm male-slider fork and a monoshock rear. The braking system is all Brembo: twin 320mm front discs with Stylema four-piston calipers and a single 220mm rear disc with a two-piston caliper, all with ABS. The forged-aluminum wheels are mounted with 170/70-17 (front) and 190/50-17 (rear) radials. Seat height is an easily accessible 31.9 inches, and dry weight is a claimed moderate 412 pounds.
