Absolutely The Worst Day At Work....ever!

So I work in a hospital which does clinical trials, and every 2 years the group who supports out trials comes to do an audit and make sure the treatments and data all match up. This is my first audit since I started right after they had their last one. So today and tomorrow are the audit days. Stress preparing for it is hard enough....but this group also brought 2 people they are training....which is slowing down things a lot. I don;t have a problem with on the job training but they should not bring them to a large hospital and try audit 12 patients. They pick 12 patient/cases to audit and we are informed 2 weeks prior to the audit which ones they are. So the one woman going over one of my cases never made it past the eligibilty criteria today since she had to keep jumping up to help the other people....which means I didnt get any actual work done now for 3 weeks....since we prepared and that is important...since if your hospital comes up with a lot of serious infractions then you will not be able to put people on any more trials for a certain period of time.

We are not in that kind of boat, but this one lady who had no idea what was going on and did not believe a word we said. Then the woman told me I was all wrong and one of the other drs auditing had to show her I was completly correct....but the one that tops it is Radiology has not been measuring a certain lesion and we had no control over it...our MD commented on the patients disease status. It was written documentation and all. The woman told me at that point I had no idea how to even do my job....After 8 hrs of plain hell...I almost broke down into tears...this was too much. Sheesh!

Anyway just had to rant for a bit...since things are going so slow, this will continue all day tomorrow, it should have been finished today and we would have the exit interview in the morning....guess not...Thanks for listening!!!

I'm sorry your so stressed. Audits can be hard. We just went through a sales tax audit at work, that had our accountant on edge for weeks. My boyfriend is an Auditor and he is trained to be skeptical of everything. It's not personal, but they need to understand things that you take for granted. They are there to find problems, and they will try very hard to. It's just what Auditors do.

Go a head and rant... it's your right.

Amanda, is this Audit part of JCAHO, when we have these people come everybody goes crazy. Fortunate for me I work nights and I have yet to see JCAHO people coming around asking me any questions, thank goodness. I am a patient care tech and all the techs joke that if they come and ask you personally questions we usually say heres my nurse ask her. The RN's really love that one.

nope, Not JCAHO. We do our cancer trials (some of them) through a Cooperative Group. The group is who is doing our audit.

I hate when JCAHO comes. When I was in the lab I worked 2nd shift so I barely saw them either...but they interupt your work and when you are working doing stat tests that is the last thing you need.

I do have to say, you always know when JCAHO is coming...everything and everyone acts like this proper person.

Aw Amanda,

I'm sorry that this audit had been so rough on you. Sounds brutal....

I'm glad you can at least come here to get it off your chest. (and pop over to the Tickle thread for a quick smile ;) )

As a former auditor, I will say that these people have to be professionally skeptical. But that woman was way out of line to tell you that you have no idea of how to do your job. Sounds like she's got issues, and something to prove to someone. I would just be patient, do the best you can, and have a drink when they're gone.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
