Englewood Hospital Surgeon Resigns Amid Fury Over Charlie Kirk Comments
the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Englewood NJ, a firestorm of controversy at Englewood Health has come to a head with the resignation of a surgeon who was accused of celebrating the assassination of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk. The hospital confirmed on September 15 that it has accepted the resignation of Dr. Matthew Jung following a thorough investigation into the incident.
The controversy began last week when a nurse, Lexi Kuenzle, filed a lawsuit alleging she was unjustly suspended after criticizing Dr. Jung’s alleged remarks. According to the lawsuit, Dr. Jung “cheered and publicly praised the murder” of Kirk in front of staff and a patient.
Resolution and Reinstatement for Nurse
The hospital’s statement also provided a clear resolution for the nurse at the center of the dispute. Lexi Kuenzle will not miss any pay and is expected to return to her scheduled shifts. Englewood Health clarified that she was never fired and was never told she would be.
The hospital’s official statement read: “Englewood Health diligently investigated the Sept. 10 incident that occurred between a doctor and a nurse in a patient care area. We have accepted the physician’s resignation, and the nurse is expected to work her scheduled shifts… Englewood Health is committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all.”
Public Outcry and Lingering Questions
The incident and the ensuing media attention have led to significant public backlash, including a bomb threat against the hospital and an increased police presence. Dr. Jung’s online presence, including his contact page on the hospital’s website and his LinkedIn profile, has been taken down, and online reviews of the doctor have been flooded with negative comments.
The lawsuit filed by Kuenzle, a practicing Christian, raised serious questions about whether Dr. Jung’s alleged comments complied with the Hippocratic Oath and the American Medical Association’s Code of Medical Ethics. While the hospital has taken decisive action, the incident highlights the ever-deepening political divide in the country and its ability to spill over into professional settings.

A thumbs down? Anonymous, of course.
It’s about time the Right openly embraces cancel culture and the ‘words are violence’ rhetoric that defined the Left’s ideological weakness and moral bankruptcy.
That nurse should take that hospital to the cleaners

Once you get an understanding to the levels and the rules to the game, then the world aint no trick no more, the world is a game to be played.
I’m so glad that employers are firing or losing these people. It’s the result of years of leftist news propaganda that has created this mind virus.
