Article: Ask for recommendations for the best surgeon you can find. Surgeons who are more meticulous about sealing off leaking blood vessels and the like will help reduce the amount of drainage you have. Talk to your doctor for recommendations, as well as any friends who've had the surgery. You can also look online for reviews. One method of reducing drainage is to have the surgeon "quilt" the skin while performing the surgery. Essentially, the surgeon sews part of the skin flap down so that you don't have as much room in your chest to produce drainage. Ask your surgeon if this is a possibility for you. Electrocautery is when a surgeon seals off a blood vessel or other wound with heat, cauterizing the wound. While this method reduces blood loss, it may increase your chances of having higher amounts of drainage. Ultrasonic dissection may be a better option for sealing off wounds, as it causes less trauma to the body. This medication reduces inflammation, which in turn can reduce drainage. It's generally given through an IV while you're still in the hospital, so ask your doctor if this is an option for you.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose a well-respected surgeon. Discuss quilting with your surgeon. Request a surgery without electrocautery. Ask about octreotide.

Problem: Article: If you are in a cult that lives in a "compound" shared living situation, such as a subdivision, commune or shared home, pack a bag for leaving. Bring a change of clothes, practical items like your cell phone and ID, and anything with sentimental value. Stow your bag away where no one will find it until you're ready to go. If you think you may have to leave at a moment's notice, keep your cell phone, your ID, and any money or small valuables you have on you. If you think someone might find your bag, don't take the risk of packing. Plan to leave your possessions behind if you need to. Think about possible answers, in case someone questions why you're packing. Think about every person you know outside of the cult that could potentially help you in some way. This could be a friend, a doctor, a neighbor, a classmate, or anyone else. Write each of their names down and write what they might be able to help you with next to their name, whether it's getting meals, finding a job, or staying hidden from cult members. Contact these people as soon as it's safe to do so. If you're leaving a live-in cult arrangement, try to line up a safe place to stay in advance. Consider staying with family or friends who aren't involved in the cult, or search for shelters in your area. If you think you'll be in danger after you leave the cult, go to the police. They can help you find a place to stay. This might be the best thing to do if you're a young child. If you're not allowed to come and go freely, you may be able to make a break for it when other people visit the cult or when you're taken outside the cult's shared home or community. Otherwise, take the bus if there's a nearby bus stop, call a taxi to come and get you, or ask a friend or family member to pick you up. If you're living on your own, break ties with the cult by not going to meetings anymore. Plan to do something else during that time. If you're idle, you may end up talking yourself into going back to the group. For instance, visit a friend or family member during the time you'd usually spend at a meeting. Be prepared for questions from the other group members. Decide ahead of time how you'll respond and how you'll avoid getting pulled back in.
Summary: Pack your things. Make a list of people who could help you. Find a place to stay. Find an opportunity to get away. Stop attending services or meetings.

To graph a linear equation, all you have to do it substitute in the variables in this formula. In the formula, you will be solving for (x,y). The variable m= slope. The slope is also noted as rise over run, or the number of points you travel up and over. In the formula, b= y-intercept. This is the place on your graph where the line will cross over the y-axis. Graphing a linear equation is the most simple, as you don't have to calculate any numbers prior to graphing. Simply draw your Cartesian coordinate plane. If we use the example of y=2x-1, we can see that '-1' is in the point on the equation where you would find 'b.' This makes '-1' the y-intercept. The y-intercept is always graphed with x=0. Therefore, the y-intercept coordinates are (0,-1). Place a point on your graph where the y-intercept should be. In the example of y=2x-1, the slope is the number where 'm' would be found. That means that according to our example, the slope is '2.' Slope, however, is the rise over run, so we need the slope to be a fraction. Because '2' is a whole number and a fraction, it is simply '2/1.' To graph the slope, begin at the y-intercept. The rise (number of spaces up) is the numerator of the fraction, while the run (number of spaces to the side) is the denominator of the fraction. In our example, we would graph the slope by beginning at -1, and then moving up 2 and to the right 1. A positive rise means that you will move up the y-axis, while a negative rise means you will move down. A positive run means you will move to the right of the x-axis, while a negative run means you will move to the left of the x-axis. You can mark as many coordinates using the slope as you would like, but you must mark at least one. Once you have marked at least one other coordinate using the slope, you can connect it with your y-intercept coordinate to form a line. Extend the line to the edges of the graph, and add arrow points to the ends to show that it continues infinitely.
