Sandy,
basically they inject talc into the plueral space between the pleural lining and the lung. it causes the area to burn and thus the lining sticks to the lung because of scar tissue. then they insert drains and you wait for the fluid to drain and then once that's done they send you home. it sounds barbaric, but it works
