With the ward mistaken as war, an increasing number of medical students but limited material resource, I am more reminded of the Kamikaze (神風特攻隊) in the Second World War.
When soldiers were in abundant supply but petroleum was scarce (as a result of the disappointing conquer of North-east China and miscalculation of the Japanese army), it is easier and more effective to use human body as part of the bomb. You know what: the most expensive - in terms of petroleum consumption - bit of training an air-force pilot is landing.
PS. From a military tactics point of view, Kamikaze is a most ingenious design: the distance that one can attack from an aircraft carrier is doubled because you do not need gasoline for your way back. Generals can stay in a safe distance and enjoy bombing your enemy - without the risk of facing a revenge. No wonder the trick is so highly praised by the ancient (and current ?) inhabitants of Pluto.
