Firework-related injury not as common as you would think, doctor says.
Emergency room crews at Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital are preparing for a busy Fourth of July weekend. But it’s not necessarily because of what you think. Fred Rothenberger, an emergency room doctor with the hospital, said firework-related injuries have significantly decreased during the last 10 or 15 years, leaving alcohol-related injuries the norm.
