What this record shows

It is spread thinly across 25 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 49 payments — averaging $18.52 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
