What this record shows

It is spread thinly across 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 97 payments — averaging $14.82 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
