What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $152,057 of the $176,166 with a category attached, or 86.3%. Amgen accounts for 82.3% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among rheumatology clinicians in SC with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
