Princess Tiara loathed tiaras. The heavy jewels dug into her scalp, their sparkle a constant reminder of the gilded cage her life felt like. Unlike her sisters, who dreamt of balls and eligible suitors, Tiara yearned for adventure, for tales whispered on dusty scrolls and maps crinkled with the touch of explorers.

Introduction: In 2011, on the center stage of a Congressional hearing on medical technologies and FDA regulation of bio-tech and med-tech innovation, five medical experts and leaders in the field were asked by Congress to provide opinion and testimonials.
