I'm not a medicine man but I'm pretty sure getting a transfusion of the wrong blood type can cause some pretty serious shit, like kidney failure and circulatory shock, and it would be pretty bullshit if a syringe of A blood and B blood became the most volatile poison around.
I've been toying with the idea of a blood processing machine, where you feed it a beaker/whatever of blood and maybe one of plasma and it spits out Generic Universally Transfusable Blood, but that's pretty silly, even for magical space plasma. I wanna err on the side of gameplay rather than realism, though, so if it comes down to magical space chemical blood, then so be it.
In other news, I've messed with the numbers a bit, so now any level of bleeding has a chance to clot, 1u-10u, but you have a much lower chance of it happening at low and high levels of bleeding.
