I'd say healing surges are exactly like that - they are a second wind for characters who are able to soldier on because they are heroic tough guys.
My concern doesn't come with what Healing Surges could be, my concern is that, unless I'm mistaken, D&D 4e doesn't explain at all what they are ! Which brings me back to say that D&D is now a paper based videogame. At least in older editions, healing was beleivable because it was done using divine magic.
