History
Arabasta Saga

Some days following the Arabasta civil war, shortly after the Straw Hat Pirates left the kingdom, Potsun discharged Pell, who had been injured by the bomb planted in Alubarna by Baroque Works. Subsequently, the doctor noticed the patient had left behind his distinctive headscarf.
Translation And Dub Issues
Summary
In the 4Kids-dubbed anime, he calls after Pell by name, erasing the ambiguity of the original scene (though this was left moot when later arcs explicitly confirmed Pell's survival).
Trivia
Summary
His name is possibly meant to reference a term for "lonely" (ぽつん, potsun?), reflecting his clinic's remote location.
