Plural of hemorrhage; uncontrolled or excessive bleeding from blood vessels, or third-person singular present tense of the verb hemorrhage.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'rhegnynai' (to burst, break). Can function as both a noun describing multiple bleeding events and as a verb conjugation.
Doctors classify hemorrhages by severity—a minor hemorrhage stops on its own, but massive hemorrhages can kill you in minutes, which is why trauma surgeons are trained as the fastest decision-makers in medicine.
