CHARLOTTETOWN — He was a doctor, a father and a marathon runner, but beneath the white coat, Charlottetown physician Grant Matheson says his life was unravelling because of addiction. As he waited at the airport, Matheson says he needed a hit to make it through his flight to Toronto. After ducking into a stall, Matheson says he realized there was only one source of water for the injection solution. Matheson says he was caught by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of P.E.I in 2005 and his medical license was suspended. He says he hopes his book will help reduce the stigma of addiction in the health-care community.
