Quick Sherlock Question

Anyone have any thoughts on whether Molly is a Miss Hooper or a Dr. Hooper? I'm assuming her official job (other than being the butt of all jokes) is an ME? Does that sound right? I've never actually seen her do anything other than stand around and stare adoringly at Sherlock, so I don't know for sure. Does she do autopsies or just, I don't know, corral bodies?

There was a big discussion on her on one of the bbc comms a while back. Of course I can't find it now though, sorry. But since she didn't go to the crime scene the consensus was she wasn't probably a doctor of any sort.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b018ttws/characters/molly-hooper says she's just a lab tech though

When I was writing my fic where John became a medical examiner this helped me, it might help you figure out Molly's position: http://www.met.police.uk/scd/specialist_units/forensic_services.htm
