Cardio Hospital tiny planet - Szívkórház
The square of the cardiology hospital @Balatonfüred
My very first go at this :)
Description and history:
"This hospital is the biggest cardiac rehabilitation centre in Hungary with its 427 beds, up-to-date facilities appliances. It is suitable for evaluation of the actual state of the different cardiovascular diseases. At the same time it also gives opportunity to treat the rheumatic complaints of the patients with the aid of physiotherapy, C02-baths, calisthenics etc.
The CO2-bath is one of the best known healing factors in Balatonfüred. The Kossuth-spring and other springs nearby the hospital deliver water containing free and bound C02 iron, magnesium, potassium, hydrocarbonate, calcium, sodium, sulphur and other minerals. The temperature of the spring water is 14-15oC. It is collected into a big basin and piped into the spa-building. Then the C02-rich water is warmed up to 32-34oC and used for treatment.
The Kossuth spring built in 1802. The C02rich water exerts its effect on the autonomic nervous system. The bubbles of C02 gas excite the thermoreceptors of the skin and the C02 absorbed from the water into the connective tissue causes there a reactive hyperaemia. Although the body temperature decreases, the patiens have an isothermal temperature feeling. Thought this effect the C02 bath represents the mildest and oldest form of hibernation, which causes a sedative effect on the autonomic nervous system. The natural C02 bath combined with other up-to-date physiotherapy treatments gives a unique rank to Balatonfüred among the resort places in Europe.
Another advantage of this place is the excellent microclimate. Lake Balaton on one side and a fairly big forest surrounded by nice hills on the other result in a milder winter, an early spring and a longer autumn. The air is clean and the humidity is moderate. These factors cause a curative effect on the cardiac patients.
It is very important to measure the physical capacity of cardiac patients."
