It is spread thinly across 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 222 payments — averaging $18.95 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
