A large rectangular entryway door easily accommodates gurney and wheel chair bound patients. Patients are pampered with the latest state of the art entertainment system available in a hyperbaric environment. Each patient is provided with a selectable stereo headset that affords the choice of no less than four channels. A video cassette recorder system with a rear projected movie projector allows for movie viewing. If quiet is preferred, the entertainment system can be individually controlled to each patient’s preference.
