thats what i remember from ck too, but i just did a Q in UW. One about a guy having repeated rt mid lobe PNAs with scarring on imaging, smoker, older guy, supposed obstrction, must be Br. Ca and the answer was flexible bronchoscopy v/s CT (and that biopsy cud be taken via the flex br)

Only indication for rigid bronchoscopy is foriegn body
other all maneuvers are flexible bronchoscopy...BE SURE ON THIS
