It is spread thinly across 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 21.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 147 payments — averaging $15.26 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
