Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 90.5% of the total across 160 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Stryker accounts for 71.3% of it on its own, with 12 other manufacturers making up the rest.
Across 160 payments — averaging $53.71 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
