What this record shows

It is spread thinly across 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 16.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $1,049 and has fallen 96.6% since, to $36 in 2023.
Across 103 payments — averaging $14.76 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
