Mosquitoes season and the local hospital

Right after the monsoon, September and October are the peak season for mosquitoes in Delhi. Luckily, South Delhi is not infested and we can live without being fully covered at all time in clothes, mosquito repellent, and mosquito nets. We are just covered part of the time. A bit of mosquito repellent before going out works fine for me, and Ruben is well tucked under a mosquito net in his stroller.

Indoor we generally feel quite safe. Our windows all have screens so very few insects manage to get in the house (though so far already two coakroaches found their way to the kitchen, hew.. but there we suspect the pipes which is quite a different issue).

The problem is then that, once a mosquito comes in through the door, it can not manage to get out again. For the past 2 days, I have been trying to catch the mosquito which has settled in our bedroom and is happily feeding on me. I have just killed one mosquito in the kitchen, and hope it's the same one. Anyway, I am crossing fingers that this particular mosquito does not carry dengue / malaria / chikungunya or japanese encephalitis.
I listed the diseases there following their frequency, not their dangerosity. Japanese encephalitis is certainly the worst, and it is a (not welcome) new comer to Delhi as of september 2011, but the odds of getting infected are very, very low. But generally speaking, all these mosquito-related diseases are bad, very annoying, and potentially lethal, and one would prefer not to get infected.

The Hindu gave the other day the official figures for these diseases this season. So far, 479 dengue cases, 218 malaria cases, 12 cases of chikungunya and five confirmed cases of Japanese Encephalitis :
The Hindu : Cities / Delhi : Delhi hit by dengue, malaria cases

These figures actually appear pretty low given the size of the city, at about 14 million inhabitants. And also given the number of people we hear about who have had the dengue. But I guess many cases go unreported or do not get confirmed. And maybe also many people 'self-diagnose' a dengue episode when they are running a fever.

Eric has been feeling a bit down, with lots of headaches, for the past ten days, and though feeling better now he decided to get some blood tests done to see if anything was the problem. He also seized the opportunity to have a look at the local hospital nearest to our place, Moolchand hospital.
I had told him that we should go there in life-or-death situations, as getting to the most renowned hospitals (Appollo / Max) can take up to 45 min- 1 hour if the traffic is bad. [of course, there is no emergency service to speak off here. You can call an ambulance from one of the hospitals, but it will need the time to get from the hospital to your place, and then to get back to the hospital. So you're usually better off going directly on your own to the hospital.]
Besides, Moolchand doesn't seem that bad.. I mean, their website even caters for the foreigners who might be interested to come to India to get treatment there.
So Eric got there, quickly saw a doctor, got the blood samples done, and began to leave. And then the skin on his arm started to swell with blood.
What the heck ?
I understand that the doctor was very casual about it, saying it just needed more compression. But when Eric came back home and told me about it, it felt bad. And it felt even worse when the swelling started again at home. So Eric compressed it again and everything went back to normal.
Still, how can go get such a thing after a blood sample ? We had done so many already in France, in the US, in the UK, without any glitch..
The results were supposed to be available yesterday afternoon, a mere two hours after the samples had been taken. As of now we still don't have them.

In conclusion, we should really avoid Moolchand hospital in the future. But still maybe go there in real life or death situations. But still try to avoid it, still.
