If the patient had exploded, would anyone have considered it “OK” to have lost several surgeons, nurses, medics, and others who could have saved hundreds of more lives??

That’s kind of the whole point of the story....Everyone involved knew the danger, and still refused to let this man die. They all volunteered.
And actually, if you think about it, the experience they got working on this man with live ordinance will likely result in more saved lives down the road.

Being the highly trained professionals that they were, they saved his life and as a nation who's troops value each others lives, they succeeded.
Why would you ask me such a stupid question? Are you the type of person who would have ran away from this man with your tail tucked between your legs??
