A GP who carried out experimental stem cell procedures, including on a woman with dementia who later died from complications, has been banned from practice for seven years.

Dr Ralph Bright, who worked as a cosmetic doctor in Sydney from 2000 onwards, showed a “reckless disregard for patient safety” over his stem cell treatments on two patients that were akin to “quack medicine”, a tribunal has found.
