A New Jersey surgeon who allegedly celebrated the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at work has resigned, Englewood Health hospital said on Monday. The nurse who reported the incident had been suspended but has now been reinstated.Dr Matthew Jung resigned following Wednesday’s incident, which reportedly occurred shortly after news of Kirk’s assassination. A hospital representative confirmed, “We have accepted the physician’s resignation.”Jung allegedly cheered Kirk’s death at the nurses’ station and defended his comments when nurse Lexi Kuenzle questioned how a medical professional tasked with saving lives could celebrate someone’s death, as reported by The New York Post. Kuenzle later posted about the incident on social media and was temporarily suspended. Englewood Health confirmed she has now been reinstated and will continue to work her scheduled shifts. “The nurse was never fired, never told she would be fired, and will not lose any pay as part of our review of this matter,” the hospital representative said. “Englewood Health is committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all.”Kuenzle has filed a lawsuit in Bergen County Superior Court against the hospital, Dr Jung and others, claiming her suspension was unjust. According to court documents, she was standing near Dr Jung when news of Kirk’s shooting broke.After reporting the incident to management, Kuenzle returned to work the next day to learn she had been suspended. Her lawsuit alleges that a union representative even advised her to start looking for a job.Kuenzle said that Dr Jung’s alleged remarks were “mind-blowing” and left her “so angry and upset.”Her lawsuit stated, “[Kuenzle] 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.”
