Conversation Card Decks Science · Medicine · Media
NarrateMD

Trivia decks that turn medicine and pop culture into a conversation worth having.

Card decks exploring how science, medicine, and healthcare shape the stories we watch — built for medical providers, curious lay readers, and students alike.

The Idea

Science doesn't feel foreign because it's complicated. It feels foreign because nobody built a story around it.

01

Trivia, not textbooks

Each card is a real question — sharp, discussable, and built to spark a conversation, not a quiz.

02

Built on real expertise

Every deck is grounded in a media psychology and science-communication background, not trivia-night guesswork.

03

Made to be shared

Read aloud, guess together, discuss — decks are designed for dinner tables, waiting rooms, and classrooms alike.

The First Deck

Screen to Story: Media & Medicine

Deck 01

Screen to Story

Science · Medicine · Media

A conversation-starting trivia deck exploring how science, medicine, and healthcare shape the stories we watch — and the lives we live. From the real diagnostic logic behind medical dramas to the public health crises that built the hospital-show genre, each card is a doorway into how medicine and media shape each other.

"Which medical TV show was the first to popularize the idea of doctors as flawed, morally complex protagonists rather than flawless heroes?"

Read a card aloud. Guess together. Discuss where science shows up in media — and why it matters. Best enjoyed with food, drink, and curiosity.
