What this record shows

It is spread thinly across 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 144 payments — averaging $17.22 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
