What this record shows

It is spread thinly across 18 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,650 and has fallen 84.3% since, to $259 in 2024.
Across 133 payments — averaging $16.86 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
