What this record shows

It is spread thinly across 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 16.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 121 payments — averaging $14.71 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
