I didn’t read anything that would make it obvious that this woman needed medical attention.

Someone did make a good point about dislocating the shoulder..... however you have to keep in mind that she only had maybe an inch of chain between the cuffs to work with. I do not see this theory as being even remotely possible.

What about her saying "I'm not a terrorist! I'm a sick mom. I need help!"
You don't think her saying she was sick and needed help is an indication that she needed medical attention? For all we know, she died as a result of a diabetic coma, because they took away her needles for insulin.

Carol Gotbaum Was Going To Alcohol Rehab In Tucson; Autopsy Will Reveal Whether She Died From Accidental Strangulation Or Something Else
Now a famous New York family is searching for answers, and an autopsy will reveal whether Carol Ann Gotbaum, daughter-in-law of New York's public advocate, Betsy Gotbaum, died from accidental strangulation or if something else may have triggered her death."
"A police spokesman theorized...." (kind of like we are all doing here)
She was handcuffed by officers after being uncooperative and was taken to a holding cell inside the airport, where officers said she continued to throw a fit.
The medical examiner in Phoenix is conducting an autopsy.

as mundane as it might seem, wouldn't it be necessary to treat each incident of "I'm not a terrorist." or "I'm sick..." or "I need help" with the same consideration you would afford yourself or your loved ones? just because one guy burps out of rudeness, doesn't mean every burp is rude. (i know, bad analogy) you get the idea, anyway.

Could be she was having physical problems if she had no alcohol in her body but was an alcoholic. Bet she was toughing it out knowing help was waiting at rehab.
