Dr. Ponseti grew up in Spain where he spent his summers working for his father, a watchmaker. He entered Medical School in 1931 at the University of Barcelona- the year that the monarchy of Spain fell. He graduated in 1936 - the same time that the Spanish Civil war began. He joined the war effort and took care of fractures and wounds on the battlefield.
