Lexi Kuenzle, a nurse at Englewood Health, filed a lawsuit Friday in Bergen County Superior Court against the hospital, Dr. Matthew Jung and others claiming she was wrongly suspended without pay for calling out the doctor’s vile act on her personal Instagram account.Wrong person got suspended/fired. Doctors have no business cheering death. https://t.co/SUxRM9p59m

“[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,” the suit says.
Kuenzle was in front of a nurses’ 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.
The following day, she was pulled into a meeting with hospital brass and suspended without pay pending a probe, the nurse claimed. A union rep also suggested she start looking for another job.
