Two dimensions meet here: the occupation string Surgeon and the 2012 election cycle. The meeting is $311,658, built from 371 contributions and 144 donors on FEC.gov. Lifetime Surgeon storage is $5,485,696 (5.7% in this window). The page does not restate a hub; it explains the join — self-reported occupation, not a surgical PAC, a medical-license census, or Physician stored as a neighboring key.
Key figures
- Itemized individual total $311,658 at Surgeon × 2012.
- 371 lines / 144 identities (mean $840 per line).
- $5,485,696 is all cycles; $311,658 is 2012 only (5.7%).
- Grouping type: self-reported occupation.
- Campaign contributions are not federal awards.
Surgeon is one axis; 2012 is the other
An industry-cycle page is not a restatement of Surgeon and not a restatement of 2012. It is the cell where they meet: $311,658, 371 contributions, 144 donors. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by employer/industry grouping and election cycle are the source note.
On the occupation side, Surgeon is self-reported occupation. On the cycle side, 2012 is a two-year FEC window, not a single Election Day. Gifts dated in either year of that window sit in $311,658.
Leaving either axis off the citation misstates the record. $5,485,696 is the lifetime Surgeon bucket. The 2012 hub is every grouping that year. The join is $311,658.
2012 is not the whole Surgeon story
Surgeon across all cycles is $5,485,696. Surgeon in 2012 is $311,658 — about 5.7%. The gap is $5,174,038. Closing that gap would require other cycle joins, which this packet does not list.
A reader who only opens the 2012 overlay still sees $311,658 for this string, not $5,485,696. A reader who only opens the industry hub still needs the year filter to recover $311,658. 2012 holds $311,658 of $5,485,696 for this string — about 5.7%. Other cycles hold $5,174,038 (94.3%). Folding those other cycles into a 2012 citation would misstate the record by $5,174,038.
