FYI, just to feel a bit sick, you need about 50,000 thousand times the normal background radiation (background radiation = 0.0004mSv / hour, 500mSv in an hour = sick, 6000mSv in an hour = dead (the hour part is approximate, could be a day or so)). From the clicking of the Geiger counter I would guess she is receiving around 10-1000 times the background radiation, so as you can see there's still a long way to go even for reversible damage to occur.
