If the Last King of Scotland was based on Amin's real life character was there a Dr Garrigan?

According to my parents, yes.They've been fishing in Iceland, and in their fishing party was a scottish doctor who claims to have been Idi Amin's personal doctor. Although, i only have my parents words for this, or rather that man's words since my parents don't really have a reason to lie about this.Wether Dr. Garrigan's character is actually based on this man, or is purely fictional, i cannot answer. But well, at least he had a personal doctor so it would be farely logical to assume that the character of Dr. Garrigan is at least partially based on the scottish fisherman, although - is there really any logic in Hollywood ?And English isn't my native language, so the spelling and grammar in this answer might fishy. :)
