La inyección
Definition
A la inyección is a medical procedure where a liquid medication is injected into the body using a needle and syringe. It allows for quick delivery of medication directly into the bloodstream.
Analogy
Getting an injection is like refueling your car at a gas station. Just as the fuel goes directly into the car's tank to power it, the medication from an injection goes directly into your body to help you feel better.
