Enfermerias

[goodboyjakey]

Can anyone help me with some information regarding enfermerias?

I ask because the dentist just gave me a prescription for a painkilling ampule that I then have to take to one of these places for them to inject me. I walked past one of these places and it look more like a shabby little kiosco than a clinic.

Is this normal? Are these places registered and will I see a nurse or doctor?

I dont know what you mean by "enfermerias" (I mean, I don't know in what context that term was used), but anyway, any pharmacy should guide you on where to get your shot (don't know about Farmacity though). They usually have someone who knows how to give shots and they will do it for you.

Suerte!

I second the above. Almost all pharmacies (but NOT farmacity) have an employee certified to administer injections. So when you go to purchase the drug ask if there is someone there to administer the injection. Otherwise just ask in another pharmacy . There's usually a small fee for the service.
Your dentist mentioned a nurse (Enfermero) because they are also certified to give injections. It takes getting used to, but doctors here almost never give injections!
