What ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON donors give in federal races

Widest specialty pool in this band, fewer lines per name

$15,862,739 is the occupation-level dollar total. 29,969 is the itemization count. 6,711 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $529. Mean dollars per donor record are about $2,364. Repeat giving is about 4 itemizations per donor record.

6,711 donor records is a wide pool relative to SURGEON and other clinical keys with similar headline dollars. About 4 itemizations per donor record is a lower repeat rate than high-volume workplace titles. The per-line mean of about $529 is larger than generic SURGEON in this harvest.

These means are not typical-check estimates. The packet does not include a sports-medicine split, a hospital-versus-group cut, or a gift-size distribution.

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON is not SURGEON

SURGEON, PHYSICIAN, MD, and the American spelling orthopedic surgeon — if stored as a separate key — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON. This page cites only $15,862,739, 29,969 contributions, and 6,711 donors.

The FEC record does not verify board certification. The British spelling orthopaedic is the harvested string; donors who typed orthopedic may live in another bucket. Retired specialists and people using the title loosely can all appear.

Reading the three facts together

A citation that showed only $15,862,739 would hide that 6,711 records carry those dollars with relatively few lines each. A citation that showed only 29,969 contributions would hide the wide donor pool. Use all three facts.

LobbyVault does not infer party or health-policy motive from the occupation column. Recipient committees are a different join. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $15.9 million.

Occupation versus industry for orthopedic work

Industry pages group employers. An orthopaedic surgeon in private practice and one employed by a hospital share this occupation string if they typed ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON. Adding occupation dollars to a health-care industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations.

Limits and source

Occupation is free text. Extra words (orthopaedic surgeon MD, retired orthopaedic surgeon) create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Quote occupation equals ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON, then $15,862,739, 29,969 contributions, and 6,711 donors.

Specialty spelling without a board match

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON in this extract is $15,862,739 on 29,969 itemizations from 6,711 donor records, or $15.9 million in compact millions. Arithmetic means are about $529 per contribution and about $2,364 per donor record, with roughly 4 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. SURGEON remains another occupation page.

The orthopaedic spelling is the harvested key; orthopedic may be a parallel string. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. Industry pages should not be added to $15,862,739. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON, dollars equal $15,862,739, contributions equal 29,969, donors equal 6,711. Live hub filters may change displayed sums; this file restates harvested packet facts only.

6,711 donor records is a wide specialty pool for this dollar band, with fewer lines per name than SURGEON. Extra words such as orthopaedic surgeon MD create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON. Board certification is not verified. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code.

Keep ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON on its own line. Compact millions ($15.9 million) are the same headline amount as $15,862,739, rounded to one decimal place. 6,711 is a contributor-record count, not a unique-person estimate after name matching. Quote occupation equals ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON, then $15,862,739, 29,969 contributions, and 6,711 donors. The occupations index is the inventory of neighboring clinical titles. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side.

The British spelling is the harvested key: $15,862,739, 29,969 contributions, and 6,711 donors. About 4 itemizations per donor record is a lower repeat rate than SURGEON, with a wider pool. Orthopedic may live in another bucket. Board lists are not joined. Do not merge the generic SURGEON hub into this specialty string.

Questions

How much have ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON sum to $15,862,739 across 29,969 contributions and 6,711 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data.

Does the American spelling orthopedic count here?

Only if the bulk extract normalized it to ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON. This page is the harvested string: $15,862,739, 29,969 contributions, and 6,711 donors. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

What is the average ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON contribution?

Dividing $15,862,739 by 29,969 itemizations yields about $529 per contribution. Dividing by 6,711 donors yields about $2,364 per donor record. Both are means, not medians.
