Kader Abraham MD

My mom went into Virginia Hospital last November 2012 with a stroke. It was mild but her symptoms continued to get worse. Dr. Kader saw my mom and said her symptoms were not stroke related and avoided future testing towards that diagnosis, focusing solely on back issues. No request for a neurologist to confirm was made and we didn’t request it since he was confident this was not her issue.
He sent her into surgery for her back which exacerbated her stroke further. She went from left leg weakness to no use of her left leg, left arm weakness, and left visual issues and memory problems. Some of these issues resolved eventually but not before she suffered bilateral rotator cuff tears trying to move herself. She was very unsteady after this second massive stroke he allowed her to have.
Less than one year later, October 2013, she fell and hit her head resulting in bilateral subdural hematomas and she died. Although that was not his fault, she would have never suffered the balance and weakness issues had he considered stroke as her diagnosis and not told her and our family that stroke was not her issue last year. My mom was only 69 years old and my family and my brother’s family, including her 5 granddaughters will never get her back.
