UNHINGED with Dr. Michael Meneghini

About UNHINGED with Dr. Michael Meneghini

The ground is shifting, but not everyone is saying it out loud. Healthcare is changing. Orthopedics is evolving. Leadership is getting harder. Trust matters more than ever. Yet, most industry conversations still feel polished, filtered, and safe. UNHINGED was built to create the conversations people are actually having behind the scenes — the ones that don't happen on stage. Here, we have real conversations in healthcare and MedTech, said out loud. This is a podcast where experienced operators speak honestly about healthcare, business, and leadership in a setting that feels human. This is NOT chaos for the sake of chaos “unhinged.” It’s controlled honesty from credible people. Check out new episodes every month.

   UNHINGED Episode 5, How A Mayo Clinic Surgeon Built Mentors And Breakthroughs, Dr. Arlen Hanssen

   Legacy gets thrown around like it’s a plaque, a building name, or a career highlight reel. We don’t buy that. Dr. Arlen Hansen, legendary Mayo Clinic hip and knee surgeon and mentor to a generation of orthopedic leaders, lays out a sharper definition: your real legacy is the people you lift up and the patients they’ll treat long after you’re gone. We talk through his unlikely early story, the discipline that clicked when he committed to medicine, and the mentors who shaped his standards at M...

   UNHINGED Episode 4, From Surgeon To CEO: Growing A Scalable Orthopedic Platform, Dr. David Jacofsky

   A surgeon reads his father’s CT scan, spots a massive liver tumor, and has to deliver the worst possible news himself. That moment helped shape Dr. David Jackowski’s lifelong drive, but it didn’t lead where most people would expect. It eventually helped turn an orthopedic surgeon into a founder and CEO who thinks as much about incentives, systems, and outcomes as he does about the operating room. We walk through David’s early life in New York, where a teacher-mom demanded academic prec...

   UNHINGED Episode 3, Grit Over Circumstance | Ivan Tornos of Zimmer Biomet

   A kid in Spain watches his family’s world collapse, loses his father to cancer at age five, then loses the uncle who adopted him nine months later. Years later, that same kid becomes an immigrant in rural North Carolina, cleans tanning beds to pay his way forward, builds a business, and eventually leads Zimmer Biomet, the world’s largest orthopedic company in the world. We talk with Ivan Tornos about the turning points that shaped him and the mindset that kept him moving: refusing victimhood,...

   UNHINGED Episode 2, Work Life Balance Is A Myth | Dr. Richard A. Berger

   Same-day hip replacement used to sound like a bad idea someone would regret out loud. Then Dr. Richard Berger did it anyway and backed it up with results. Sitting with him in Chicago, we walk through the real story behind outpatient joint replacement: how an engineer’s obsession with motion became a surgeon’s obsession with systems, and why the biggest breakthroughs weren’t flashy gadgets but hard, unglamorous protocol changes that made patients feel better faster. We talk minimally invasive...

   UNHINGED Episode 1, The Silent Killer | Chris Hughes & Eric Stookey of OsteoRemedies

   Infection after joint replacement is one of the few problems in orthopedics where the stakes can go from “recover and rehab” to “fight for your life” in a matter of weeks. We sit down with Chris Hughes and Eric Stookey, two longtime orthopedics operators who built OsteoRemedies by doing what most companies would not: going all-in on joint infection (PJI) and infection management while everyone else treated it like a side project. We talk candidly about the entrepreneurship leap in healthcare...
