Burned Out

Eric Philson's Mission

Eric Philson came to the Children's Hospital of Biloxi with a goal — to build the cardiac intensive care unit from the ground up.

The Challenges

The physician faces insurmountable odds: the devastating aftereffects of a hurricane, deprivation of essential staff and resources, and a cardiac surgeon resistant to change.

His Dedication

Dr. Philson will do whatever it takes to help improve the care for children, until the job begins to take a toll on his free time, marriage, and health. How much is he willing to sacrifice?

The Cost of Commitment

Working hundred-hour weeks, overcoming the impossible, and facing personal ruin are only the start of what he will face. Does he have the grit and determination to do what's right, even if it costs him everything?
