What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,332 of the $4,938 with a category attached, or 87.7%. It is spread thinly across 34 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,531 and has fallen 99.4% since, to $14 in 2022.
Across 208 payments — averaging $23.74 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
