Interesting - I found a reference to "Norman Dott" and blood transfusion lectures from 1930. This is almost certainly what the user is asking about - Norman Dott, the Scottish neurosurgeon. Let me check if DOTT here refers to the Norman Dott lectures/protocol, or if it's about the Dott clipping procedure, and look at the library for more.
