Vietnam 'napalm girl' Kim Phuc starts free course of laser treatment for her burns
Kim Phuc, who became famous for a horrific photo of her being burned in a napalm attack when she was nine, is now 52 and starting laser treatments that might finally end her chronic pain. Dr. Jill Waibel of Miami Dermatology and Laser Institute offered her services for free when she learned of Phuc's tragic story.

Phuc says her Christian faith brought her physical and emotional peace "in the midst of hatred, bitterness, pain, loss, hopelessness,' when the pain seemed insurmountable.

'No operation, no medication, no doctor can help to heal my heart. The only one is a miracle, (that) God love me,' she says. 'I just wish one day I am free from pain.'
