His hands would have been tied down
When Spector awakes from surgery he has a ventilation tube down his throat. Patients usually have their hands tied down because the instinct is to pull the tube out of one's throat. This happened to President Reagan after his shooting in 1981 - he had to have his hands tied down because he kept trying to pull the damn thing out of his throat. Read it in a great book titled Rawhide Down.
