PHQ score? - Awfully long shot but

[ In Reply To ..]
It's a very common test for depression, and 13 would be a pretty usual score.

Thanks for trying. Found out it was COWS (clinical opiate withdrawal scale) but thx. nm - Shasta

Patient First - Current MT
Apr 20, 2013

Regarding the posts below, thought I would expound.  I have been there a few years and it is the best MT job I have had in a very long career. The process for hiring is a bit complex but it is worth it.  Don't bother unless you are really experienced. Basics:  -1400 lines per day minimum - 50-character line with spaces - 7 cpl.  Do the math - it is comparable to 10 cpl for a 65-character line. Dictaphone account (provided), typed in MS Word (one long file). You provide ...
