A hunting accident which ended an outstanding career in medicine and threatened to make him a help less cripple for the rest of his life didn’t stop Dr. Arthur Louis Miller of Kimball, Neb. He gave up his practice, but is now success fully serving his fourth term as Congress man from Ne braska in the United States Dr A L Miller House of Rep resentatives. Because he overcame a severe physical handicap which would have discouraged most people, the Nebraska Society for Crippled Chil dren presented Congressman Mil ler with the "Who’s Crippled?” award at its annual meeting in Omaha (Oct. 16). This monthly award is conferred by the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults through its state affiliates. It is awarded persons like Dr. Mil ler who, in their determination to live happy, useful lives, have out witted a physical handicap. At the peak of his medical ca reer in 1934, Dr. Miller was on a hunting trip, when his shotgun ac cidentally discharged. His feet were so badly injured that both were amputated. Dr. Miller real ized his career as a surgeon was finished because he could no long er stand on his feet to perform an operation. He had $40,000 on his books, but that Christmas he sent receipted bills to all his patients, closed up his office and took a trip around the world. When he returned home, Dr. Mil ler decided to go into politics and began preparing for his new ca reer as carefully as he had pur sued his medical education. Before being elected to Congress I in 1942, he served as mayor of both Bushnell and Kimball, Neb. He was a member of the Unicameral Leg islature, directed the state health department and the Nebraska Med ical Association and became a fel low of the American College of Surgeons. He also headed the Kim ball American Legion Post and was a member of the state ath letic commission. During his political career, he has lost only one campaign and that was when he ran for gover nor in 1940. In Congress, he has served as a member of the appro priations, public lands and District of Columbia committees. Congressman Miller confesses that the biggest hurdle he ever conquered took place when he de cided to take up hunting again aft er his accident. He trembled every time he saw a gun. He was deter mined to overcome his fear and, as a result, today hunting is his favor ite sport. Dr. Miller’s amazing drive since he became handicapped is no sur prise to those who knew the ob stacles he surmounted to gain his medical education. Born in 1892 in Plainview, Pierce County, Neb., he taught school to earn enough to attend the University of Nebraska and Creighton University in Omaha. Finding Job opportunities scarce, he decided to try his luck in Chi cago, arriving there with $56 in his pocket. He waited tables, worked on elevated trains, clerked in a shoe store, worked the night shift at Cook County Hospital and be came a professional wrestler, par ticipating in about 50 matches. He received his M. D. degree from Chicago’s Loyola University in 1918. Congressman Miller serves as a shining example of the American way of life. He dramatically dem onstrated that, if given a chance, a handicapped person can lead a full, and rewarding life.
