After she was hospitalized, Kim Phuc was near death for several days. She then got back some of her strength, and it became clear that she would survive. But the napalm attack still left her horribly disfigured. Her chin had been fused to her chest by scar tissue, and burns covered much of her small body. The pain she suffered was so great that she lost consciousness when nurses washed her wounds. "That is a terrible time for me".Life was difficult for Kim Phuc in the late 1970s and early 1980s. She remained in constant pain because of her injuries, and like many other Vietnamese people still had the memories. But things got better 1980s. Hailey Bourne.
