How much do pediatric critical care medicine providers in Pennsylvania receive from drug companies?

Drug and device makers reported $192,919 in payments to 50 pediatric critical care medicine providers in Pennsylvania. The median provider received $50. Most individual payments nationally are meals worth under $20, so totals are driven by a small number of consulting and royalty arrangements rather than by typical practice.

Does a high ranking here mean a doctor did something wrong?

No. Payments to device inventors and clinical trial investigators are legal, disclosed, and concentrated in a small number of physicians. A high position usually reflects a royalty or consulting arrangement, not misconduct.
