Nope, not speaking in any official professional capacity, just offering my own experience for what help it may be. I'm only authorised to speak officially on numbers 1 to 10 (and articles 1 - 39, etc etc).

12 to 16, and 18 to 365 are irrelevant for this purpose, except (since FD says) for:

14: Never trust a professional (especially a Doctor) without getting amateur input. The amateur was usually on the receiving end and has a much more direct opinion.


My younger daughter proved the validity of 14 when she was diagnosed with bone cancer in her left arm. The professionals wanted to cut it off. She argued (being somewhat sentimentally attached to that arm) and ended up at the Middlesex Hospital where they replaced the bone with titanium. She has over 90% use of the arm, can still play piano and flute, drive, etc and is working and earning instead of being a drag on the taxpayer.
