Friend, maybe you missed the last of the episode where she wrote in her profession as "consulting investigator".
Has the new series started yet? Some people have suggested that it has.

She was a surgeon. IIRC, she lost a patient, so she gave up surgery to become a professional "sober companion" for persons newly in recovery. That's how she got hooked up with Sherlock (his father paid her for her service as a companion). When her services as a companion were no longer required, she stayed on to become a sort-of apprentice to Sherlock.

Ah, thanks guys.
No, I never watch the series. All I know is she was touted at the beginning of the series as a doctor and, of course, traditionally, Dr. Watson is a doctor.

I haven't seen her shoes, but as I recall, X-Files' FBI agent Dana Scully spent nearly a decade chasing bad guys in heels.
So much so, that when one of their parody episodes aired, where she and Mulder were portrayed in a Hollywood movie, the actress playing Scully (Tea Leoni) asked Scully to show her how she runs in high heels.
There is a hilarious scene where Mulder is talking to his alter ego actor and in the background you see the women practicing running.

Holmes usually just addresses her as "Watson." Everyone else seems to refer to her as "Ms. Watson." It would be interesting to see if she goes back to medicine, if the series lasts long enough (which would surprise me).

Hey, fans! Whilst looking up something else at IMDb, I just discovered that today is your man Cumberbatch's 37th birthday.
