Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know Schede thoracoplasty is a specific procedure, but I can't remember the exact CPT code off the top of my head. I'll have to think this through carefully.

From what I practiced, I believe we should first figure out how much of the total expenses can be attributed to selling.

I remember learning about Drill-through in class, but I'm drawing a blank on the specific output types that work with it. I'll have to carefully read through the options and see if any ring a bell.

This question feels familiar. I think the answer might be about disabling auto-learn—didn't we practice a scenario like that once?

I think the primary function of a VRF on a router is to enable the router to support multiple separate routing tables, which allows the device to handle overlapping IP addresses. That's my best guess based on the options provided.

This seems like a straightforward question about managing VM snapshots. I'm pretty confident I can figure this out.

Ah, I think I've got it! Spot FX trades typically settle on the same day, so the answer must be option A.

I heard they're coming out with a new 'Schede Zero' procedure next year - no more pesky thoracoplasty, just a quick 'thoracectomy' and you're good to go!

A) 32906 is for a 'Pleural scarification for empyema' - that sounds close, but I think C) 32905 is the right answer for a Schede thoracoplasty.

D) 32900 sounds like it could be for a total thoracoplasty, but a Schede is a specific type, so I'll go with C) 32905.

I'm leaning towards B) 32999 since it's the 'unlisted' code for thoracic surgery procedures. Gotta cover all your bases, you know?
