It is spread thinly across 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 16.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 189 payments — averaging $15.30 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
