Can't even a pretty small embolism kill you? I thought that kind of thing was pretty dangerous.
I actually saw a doctor's video on this very recently; it takes a large amount of air to kill you; basically it also depends on body weight as well. A few bubbles won't kill you, but that's what they show on movies and TV shows.
Depends where it is, but generally no. They'd need to inject like a large syringe full of air to have a good chance of killing her. Even if they wanted to kill her, there are easier and more plausibly deniable ways to do it (like 'accidentally' giving multiple doses of an actual medicine).
