What this record shows

It is spread thinly across 28 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 17.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $1,570 and has fallen 73.4% since, to $418 in 2023.
Across 225 payments — averaging $15.71 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
