Orthopaedic surgeon donations in the 2014 FEC cycle

The same spelling, a 2014 clock

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON plus cycle 2014 equals $1,786,177. Orthopedic (American spelling) remains a different key if that is what the form shows. This midterm join does not import other cycles’ dollar amounts; those amounts are not in this packet.

Parent hubs: Orthopaedic Surgeon donations and the 2014 election cycle. All FEC ties keeps each cycle’s cell on its own URL so presidential and midterm slices are not collapsed.

The occupation hub for Orthopaedic Surgeon lists $15.9 million ($15,862,739) under the exact string ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON. The 2014 election-cycle hub is a different cut: every occupation that filed in 2014, not only this label. This ties page is the cell where those two filters meet. All occupations and All FEC ties keep sibling joins in the same directory so a reader can move without mixing totals.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Orthopaedic Surgeon in 2014 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $1.8 million. The occupation page and the 2014 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees and other cuts.

Occupation total unchanged as a rollup

$15.9 million ($15,862,739) is the harvested total for this spelling across cycles. The 2014 cell is one even-numbered year inside that rollup. Physician and orthopedic surgeon (different letters) are other pages.

11.3% is $1,786,177 divided by the occupation rollup. It is not a rank among surgical specialties.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $1,786,177. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $15,862,739. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Orthopaedic Surgeon donations and the live 2014 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot.

Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $1,786,177. If a later harvest revises 3,018 or 1,673, revise the volume sentence and leave the occupation rollup ($15,862,739) unchanged unless that rollup moved too.

3,018 midterm receipts

1,673 donors and 3,018 receipts — about 1.8 lines per donor — is a high-line midterm file for a specialty title. Mean per receipt about $592; mean per donor about $1,068. No median.

More than 3,000 receipts means sorting the live hub by amount is more informative than quoting the mean. This packet has no committee list. The 2014 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s wider mix.

3,018 is a receipt count. 1,673 is a distinct-donor count inside this occupation-cycle cell. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by the string. People who left the occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $1.8 million.

Midterm citation

Cite $1,786,177 as Orthopaedic Surgeon in 2014, a midterm cycle. Cite $15,862,739 as the spelling’s occupation total. Do not add another cycle’s dollars from memory; they are not facts on this packet.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. All occupations lists neighboring surgical titles if those strings exist.

Dividing $1,786,177 by 3,018 receipts yields about $592 per line. Dividing by 1,673 donors yields about $1,068 per person in the cell. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income.

Spelling and license caveats

The ae in orthopaedic is part of the key. A surgeon who used the American spelling is outside $1.8 million. LobbyVault does not verify board certification.

No ranking of specialties, no party split, no claim about device-maker PACs. Specialty PACs are committee filings, not this occupation cell. 3,018 receipts and 1,673 donors are the volume facts.

FEC.gov individual contribution files carry the occupation as the filer typed it. This join does not recode ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a medical-board specialty. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string and do the mapping themselves.

Questions

How much did orthopaedic surgeons donate in 2014?

Does this midterm page include presidential-year totals?

No. This join is cycle 2014 only. The occupation rollup ($15.9 million) includes other harvested cycles as a single sum, not as a year-by-year list. This packet does not itemize those other years, so this page does not quote them.
