Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 144 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
