Politcs: medical worker draft???

The NYT reports that the "Selective Service has been updating its contingency plans for a draft of doctors, nurses and other health care workers in case of a national emergency that overwhelms the military's medical corps."

Now, if the military wanted me to shoot a gun at somebody, I'd just let them take me to jail or run to Canada or whatever. If they just want me for my stethoscope, we might be able to talk. But that's some scary stuff. Not because I'd mind being sent to Ground Zero II and taking care of people, but because I don't particulary trust the military to do anything that makes sense unless by accident.
