And have no idea about StackExchange's quality standards. Health should have been confined to sign-in users with >X rep and >Y account age on other SE sites. | |

Obviously they are welcome if they ask good questions (and we should upvote questions stronger in order to encourage askers to ask again), but a large user group doesn’t have follow up questions and - unless they return to the waiting room, which hopefully isn’t soon after their first visit - they won’t bother coming back. This is why I think medical sciences is the way to go. | |
| Oct 17, 2017 at 13:09 | comment | added | LаngLаngС | Recently I kept thinking that this "one-time hit" thing might actually be one of the biggest road blocks here. How can we keep Eintagsfliegen alive, i.e. stay around; and learn how to do stuff here? First-timers have a hard time everywhere on SE. But here they mostly day in the waiting room. (That is not the chat, but before they get to the operating table…) ¿Some way to remind them to at least return and check on the answers? AFAIK "newbies to medicine" are still welcome, very indeed, and will be, if they are willing to learn? (Stay at least long enough to accept sth?) | |
