Plural of epicrisis; turning points or critical moments in the course of a disease or narrative when a key decision or change occurs.
From Greek 'epi-' (upon) + 'krisis' (decision, judgment, turning point) + plural '-es'. Medical and rhetorical term for crucial moments.
Doctors still use 'epicrisis' in medical records to mark the exact moment when a patient's condition shifted—it's how they track whether an intervention actually made a difference.
