A Tragic Incident
On September 18, 1999, amid a riot at the psychiatric facility where she worked, Nadya endeavored to soothe the patients. Tragically, a flipped table struck her back, marking the start of a harrowing journey.
Struck by a wooden table, Nadya sustained a debilitating herniated disc, leading to a worker’s compensation claim of $170,000. This sum became her lifeline, yet it barely scratched the surface of her burgeoning challenges.
