A GP who told an elderly woman to get her house checked for man-made electromagnetic fields because they could be triggering her dementia has been found guilty of professional misconduct.

The 82-year-old patient, who weighed just 39kg, presented to the Sydney GP with her son in October 2018 complaining of worsening shortness of breath on exertion and fatigue.
