When we found Vi in the wreck, she seemed to be holding her own fighting a couple of Savant critters. I don't recall seeing any need to cast a healing spell after adding her to the party, but at one point or another during play, I did read as much of some walkthrough material as I'd already completed. At least one of those seemed to be saying that there was a chance she could be killed if you were slow coming to her aid.
Maybe the author was exaggerating.
