NJ nurse suspended without pay for calling out doctor who ‘cheered’ Charlie Kirk’s death: suit

A New Jersey surgeon allegedly “cheered” the assassination of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk — and a nurse who spoke out against the vile act claims she’s been suspended for her objections.

Lexi Kuenzle, a nurse at Englewood Health, filed a lawsuit Friday in Bergen County Superior County Court against the hospital, Dr. Matthew Jung and others claiming she was wrongly fired for calling out the doctor’s vile act on her personal Instagram account.

“She had the audacity to question how Dr. Jung can comply with the Hippocratic Oath’s and the American Medical Association’s Code of Medical Ethics while celebrating the murder of a non-violent Christian speaker who was on a college campus,” Kuenzle said in court papers.

Kuenzle was in front of a nurse’s station with eight other nurses, and a patient in a stretcher, when the news of Kirk’s death broke.

“Oh, my God! That’s terrible! I love him!” Kuenzle said, before Jung shot back.

“I hate Charlie Kirk. He had it coming. He deserved it,” the bariatric surgeon allegedly said.

“You’re a doctor. How could you say someone deserved to die?” Kuenzie recalled replying.

“It was mind-blowing to me ,” the 33-year-old Hoboken resident told The Post Saturday. “I was so angry and upset.”

Kuenzle said she reported Wednesday’s incident to management immediately and then posted about it on social media when she got home.  .  .  .

It is not clear what got her suspended without pay, but the hospital could argue that she shouldn't have posted on Instagram.  The part that is unclear to me is why her union did not back her.  She should definitely have a beef with them if their failure to back her is based on her viewpoint.

yeah, I saw they locked the ratings at webMD, whatever that site is. The good doctor could be a ChiCom spy. Guess he's entitled to his rotten opinion but I feel sorry for all those fat people that are his patients. What a ghoul.

If those are the facts, I think Englewood Health is going to be into a world of hurt... Dumb, dumb, dumb...

Fact is, that today everyone with a smart phone is a 'Speech Trap'.  And the fines are life-changing to some.

At 79 without a boss, feel lucky/fortunate to be able to NOT give a ****

Feel badly for the doctor who impulsively vomited his personal feelings about Charlie Kirk upon hearing the news.

But, like I suggested here the other day to our good friend  @jmyrlefuller  , you must have "situational awareness" wherever you find yourself.  There are 'Speed Cameras' everywhere.

Earlier today a long dormant member attacked @Lando Lincoln  ... not realizing he may as well attack The Pope.   

That's all I got....

yeah, I recall a slimeball here telling scientist Smokin Joe that he knew nothing about science.

Right then I knew he was off his rocker.
