From the article...

"Scoville lifted up Molaison’s frontal lobes with a spatula and reached far into the center of his brain. Then, using a silver straw, Scoville sucked out fist-size chunks of the medial temporal lobes on both sides of Molaison’s brain."

fist-size chunks? (plural!) I'm hopefully imagining that this surgeon had freakishly small hands.
