Left for Dead. The incredible story of Beck Weathers' survival has all the elements of a great adventure: heroism, bravery, a successful human struggle against the forces of nature, the surmounting of great physical and psychological challenges, and a triumph of the human spirit. Dr. Weathers, an accomplished pathologist, lost his right hand and part of his left hand to frostbite. Born in Griffin, Georgia, Dr. Weathers received his BS in mathematics and chemistry from Midwestern University and a doctor of medicine from Southwestern Medical School. He had a teaching appointment at Harvard Medical School, has been a partner in MCD Pathology, LLP and has been co-medical director at Medical City Dallas Hospital and LabCorp since 1977.
