Domain-specific¶
- Convergence Failure
- The textbook expression is the post-mass-casualty blood-donation surge — blood offered in good faith by thousands of donors simultaneously, processed by the same staff running the trauma response, most of it ultimately unused because the demand profile of the event did not match the supply surge
This sourceSchmidt's NEJM piece is the standard citation for the post-mass-casualty blood surge and its mismatch with actual demand — some 500,000 units collected after 9/11 against a handful transfused — though it is not the source for the claim that the same staff ran both the trauma response and the donor intake. Schmidt's NEJM piece supplies the supply-demand arithmetic — nearly 500,000 units collected after September 11 against 258 transfused — while the expiry of the surplus and the few-survivors mechanism are not established from the text reachable here.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
