Tragedy Strikes
Nadya Suleman underwent a terrifying event while working at the psychiatric facility on September 18, 1999. Even worse is the fact that she was at the dead center of the ordeal. Twenty patients at the facility partook in a riot so Nadya intervened right away. During the middle of the commotion, a female patient took a wooden desk and threw it into the air. Tragically, it landed right on Nadya’s back! She suffered a herniated disc injury from the ordeal and received workers’ compensation that amounted to $170,000. This amount helped her make ends meet for some time. However, her attention was diverted by something else in no time.
