Abstract
Percivall Pott 6 ocak 1714 de Londra’da do¤- du. Babas› dönemin ünlü noterlerindendi ve Pott 3 yaß›nda iken öldü. Bu nedenle Pott’un e¤itimi maddi zorluklarla geçti. Rochester piskoposunun e¤itimini üstlenmesi ile 7 yaß›nda Kent’teki özel bir okulda e¤itimine baßlad›. 17 yaß›na geldi¤inde St Bartholomew Hastanesi’nde Dr Edward Nourse Jr ile çal›ßt›. Dr Nourse anatomi ve cerrahi üzerine Pott’a iyi bir e¤itim verdi. Kendi evinde yapt›¤› kadavra demonstrasyonlar›nda kadavralar› haz›rlayan ve disseke eden Pott olmußtur. Bununla birlikte Nourse’in tüm cerrahi vakalar›na Pott’da kat›lm›ßt›r. O dönemlerde ‹ngiltere’de t›p ve cerrahi e¤itimi statü olarak çok kar›ß›kt›. Bu nedenle Pott’un Dr. Nourse ile birlikte çal›ßmas› ona büyük ayr›cal›klar tan›m›ßt›. Pott ayn› zamanda William Cheselden’de (1688-1752) e¤itim ald›. Yedi y›ll›k e¤itimden sonra, 7 Eylül 1736 da Company of Barber Surgeons’un s›nav›n›, s›nava geç kald›¤› halde baßar› ile geçti. 1787 y›l›nda emekli oluncaya kadar St Bartholomew’s Hastanesi’nde çal›ßt›. (Resim-1) Berberlerin insanlar›n saçlar›n›n yan›nda bacaklar›n› da kesebildikleri bir dönemde t›bb›n lokomotifi olmuß Barber- Surgeons Company’in hikayesi ilginçtir. Berberlerin t›p konusuna girmeleri konusunda baßl›ca birkaç faktör rol oynam›ßt›r. Orta- ça¤da t›pla ilgilenenler baßl›ca üç ana baßl›k alt›nda toplan›rlard›. Hekimler, cerrahlar ve berberler.
