Julius No, M.D.

So last night I was re-watching the first James Bond film Dr. No.  Afterwards, I decided to find out what he was a doctor in since it was not really mentioned in the movie.  According to the novel biography, Dr. No attended a medical school in Milwaukee (Medical College of Wisconsin?).  It is unclear if he finished his studies but he seems to have adopted the title of Doctor anyway (as I sort of guessed).

Whatever medical school Dr. No attended must have been digging from the bottom of the barrel.  Not only was Julius No a mad scientist with a criminal history but both his hands were prosthetic.  I would have liked to see him practice.

One final note.  All Bond villains seem to have some sort of medical abnormality.  Besides having no hands, Dr. No also has dextrocardia which means that his heart points to the right instead of his left as most people do.  This is a congenital condition that arises around the third week of embryonic development.
