What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $121,725 of the $135,805 with a category attached, or 89.6%.

Among internal medicine clinicians in NE with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
