    Yeah, it generally works out that way.

    What you do is give scrubs 30 'hit points.'  Subtract any damage they
take from that total and, when they drop to 0, they're down and out.  The 40
just represents a scrub who's a little tougher than the rest.  All in all,
this system makes it a lot easier to run battles with a bunch of scrubs,
since you don't have to keep a lot of track of hit locations and such.
Major bad guys should be run just like a PC.
