A Risky Occupation
The year that Nadya married Marcos Gutierrez was the same year that she earned her license in psychiatric therapy from Mt. San Antonio College. She then started working at a psychiatric facility in Norwalk, California called Metropolitan State Hospital. Although her job was rewarding, it was not an easy one. And it would even prove to be dangerous for Nadya. Although Nadya had a family as her primary goal, having a meaningful career was also part of her game plan. Sadly, she experienced an unfortunate event in her workplace, one that would turn her life into a roller-coaster ride.

Tragedy Strikes
In September 18, 1999, Nadya Suleman experienced a horrific event in the psychiatric facility she was working at, and she was right at the center of it. When twenty of their patients at the facility started a riot, Nadya immediately jumped in to intervene. In the middle of all the commotion, one of the female patients made a wooden desk somersault in the air. The said desk, unfortunately, landed on Nadya’s back. She got a herniated disc injury from the incident and earned $170,000 from workers’ compensation. The money helped her get by for a while. But you will soon know that it was the least of Nadya’s worries.
