'I was given a gift:' United Airlines CEO recalls heart transplant
United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz had just finished working out at home when his knees buckled.
He remembers thinking, "That was weird." But he recalled the words of a doctor friend who had warned him not to ignore seemingly odd symptoms that could indicate heart problems.
Munoz dialed 911. He then broke his nose stumbling to unlock the front door so the paramedics could come in.
A few months later, in January 2016, Munoz had a new heart beating in his chest.
