Prevailing wisdom accepts that women consult their GP more often than men. Those with a modicum of interest will know that across the NHS, all ages and all social classes for all grades of consultation, the approximate ratio is two female consultations for one male consultation. However, if the figures are carefully sifted to identify that group most clearly akin to Royal Naval personnel, the gap widens. The following figures and discussion describe how in Naval personnel's age, class and illness matched groups, extrapolating from NHS experience, the 'typical' Royal Naval 'Wren' might be expected to present as a fresh case (including family planning and pregnancy) three times more commonly and consult an RN GP four times more frequently than her male counterpart. In addition, a comparison of various pathology groups are compared and pronounced differences discussed.
普遍观点认为，女性比男性更频繁地咨询全科医生（GP）。稍有兴趣的人会知道，在整个国民医疗服务体系（NHS）中，涵盖所有年龄段、所有社会阶层以及所有级别的咨询中，大致的比例是女性咨询次数与男性咨询次数之比为2:1。然而，如果仔细筛选数据以确定与皇家海军人员最为相似的群体，这种差距就会扩大。以下数据和讨论描述了在海军人员的年龄、阶层和疾病匹配群体中，根据国民医疗服务体系的经验推断，“典型的”皇家海军女兵可能比男兵更常以新病例（包括计划生育和怀孕）就诊三倍，咨询皇家海军全科医生的频率高出四倍。此外，还对不同病理群体进行了比较并讨论了显著差异。
