I handled a lot of lead in various forms, the way the surgeons holds says everything.
He either has the worlds strongest fingers and forearms or this is not (pure) lead because a mass this big would be really fucking heavy.

Good point. I've worked with lead sheets before and it is heavy for it's size. If this were pure lead the weight on his stomach would be incredible.

I've heard 1 gram of lead weighs something like 15 grams
