Hey, I'm a 10-year transcriptionist, and 150-185 is EXCELLENT lph, ESPECIALLY for an 8 week MT and not counting spaces.. You would be doing good even if you only got 100 lph at this point. Quit worrying, you will be an excellent MT, you seem to really care about your quality as well as your line count. Clinic work with the same doctors, seems like it takes about 3-4 months (for a newbie) and then you will really see an improvement. Cheer up, it's also just stressful being new, but it will all fall in place....D.
