Welcome to Open Heart Surgery with Boots.
Hi, my name is Boots Knighton, and I am an open-heart surgery patient in Victor, Idaho. Diagnosed with three different congenital heart defects at 42 years old, my life changed in an instant. In 2023, I launched this podcast because it was what I needed when I was facing heart surgery. I interview hearts of all kinds and highlight providers who have a proven track record of helping heart patients. I'm here to remind you that YOU are the CEO of your own health, and this podcast will teach how to advocate for your heart so you can live your best life.
