u/Fearless_Lab

Hi pathologists. I am at a point in life where I can pivot careers (50/f) and have always had an eye on forensics. I am, frankly, too old to go after a 15 year program for an MD but would very much like to do *something* with pathology and/or forensics. Field-based rather than in a lab, ideally.

I am near a renowned university that has a program such as this, from a BS in criminal justice through a Masters into a PhD/MD. My city has a long internship in the ME office for those working towards degrees. If I was 30 I'd go for it all but as it stands, even 50 seems long in the tooth to get into this as a career.

Waving my magic scalpel, I'd go into forensic psychology but absolutely requires an MD.

Please give it to me straight - what are your thoughts on that brief amount of info?

The HVAC in my new house is right outside my office. It's loud and I can't find a way to quiet it. Do sound dampers exist or can I put anything inside the doors to quiet the whistling?

More info: it's an interior system in a raised closet next to the water heater. The intakes are in three places nearby but the noise itself seems to be coming from the unit. It's closed off by two folding doors.
