Tl;dr: 75-yo old woman attacks the employees over a sandwich, rips hair from one of them, put that hair in her purse, calls the police and dies.

At that point, two other employees intervened, and as they were pulled apart, a “chunk of hair” was pulled from the shift lead’s head, “leaving a raw area.”

Once separated, the employees got behind the counter and Grayson sat down, taking a phone call. She was seen picking up the shift lead’s hair and putting it in her bag, police said.

You're drawing your own inferences from who knows where. Cardiac psychosis can be something that could (rarely) occur in late stage CHF patients. Those folks can barely move around at that point though.

This woman did aggravate her serious medical condition, though, and I'm willing to believe she didn't have a complete understanding of it.

I say this being in full agreement we need better healthcare in the US. But I've also seen people with access to great care who just didn't give a shit about the recommendations of their doctors. People are complicated.

i haven't been able to get an MD to even open my medical records and look at them, let alone read them, for 15 years. i don't give a shit what my doctors say either, they haven't put in the requisite work to be allowed an opinion on my healthcare.

I'm sorry that's your experience, that's insane.

Have you considered fighting fire with fire and becoming a doctor and eventually becoming their doctor and then being a bad doctor?
