Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 155 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Abbott accounts for 69.0% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. That places this record below the midpoint for gastroenterology clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $3,104.
Across 155 payments — averaging $13.20 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
