'Resan is someone who lights up every room with his humor and energy,' Emily wrote, using the rapper's real name.

More than 45,000 people visit the ER on July 4 and 5 each year, according to the Pew Research Center — which means that out of all the holidays celebrated by Americans Independence Day is the one with the highest number of daily medical emergencies. 'This time of year, we see big increases in traumatic injuries and heat-related illness,' Dr. Ryan Marino, M.D., an ER doctor and associate professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Advertisement 'While fireworks accidents and injuries get most of the attention, there are far more falls, broken bones, head injuries and car accidents, just to name a few.' Dr. Robert Biernbaum, an emergency medicine physician in Fairport, New York, who is also the chief medical officer at WellNow Urgent Care, said that July 4th is a busy holiday for emergency rooms and that fireworks are a big contributor. 'We see everything from minor hand and facial burns to severe trauma from fireworks exploding in close proximity,' he said. 'Improvised or illegal fireworks tend to cause the worst damage.'
