On March 8, the Cubs held their annual training in Wrigley Field in preparation for Opening Day, which was supposed to take place a few weeks following the annual training session. Two Cubs employees tested positive for COVID-19. The team did not have the results until March 23 and 24. The Cubs believe the training session on March 8 contributed to the exposure of the two to the highly-contagious virus since there was nothing indicative of it during the session, notes Dr. Matt Boente MD, an ardent supporter of the Chicago Cubs.

Julian Green, the spokesperson for the Chicago Cubs, first talked with the Chicago Sun-Times about the COVID-19 positive cases among the associates. According to Green, they shared the information “out of an abundance of caution, transparency, and responsibility.” He said that many of the associates know each other and spend time together and often speak, thus they desire for everyone to take necessary precautions and follow CDC directions outside the field.

Dr. Matt Boente MD commends the Cubs’ effort to extend their support to both associates. At present, the MLB and the MLB Players Association are hopeful that the regular season can start in early June.

Dr. Matt Boent MD has shared his expertise as an academician and consultant in gynecologic oncology for different pharmaceutical companies and oncology advisory boards. The physician considers the Chicago Cubs as his favorite sports team. For more updates, visit this page.

Talent Without any exceptions, doctors need to be talented enough, particularly with a high intelligence quotient, in order for them to perform the duties and responsibilities that are expected of them. Doctors don’t go through a number of stringent processes for no reason. Earning an undergraduate degree, passing the MCAT, getting into medical school, and residency training, all serve as instruments that are designed to produce only the best minds in society. 2. Lifelong learning According to Dr. Matt Boente, MD, doctors are able to survive not only because of their ability to take in knowledge from the books they have read in their training, but because

Being a doctor is often regarded as one of the noblest professions in the world. In a world full of pain, sickness, and danger, doctors do the impossible and stare death in the eye and say, “not today.” But of course, not all medical conditions are life-threatening. Some illnesses give patients little discomfort while others require major lifestyle changes. This is why doctors and health practitioners are always in-demand. Image source: crimsoneducation.org Image source: scmp.com Dr. Matt Boente MD explains there’s a reason why it’s so difficult to become a doctor. You’d want your doctor to be fully competent, capable, and knowledgeable. There’s no room for a good enough doctor.
