What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 10 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Merck accounts for 80.1% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest.
Across 10 payments — averaging $25.97 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

- AbbVie$26
- E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C.$25
