SEASON 1:
The theme music is by Lalo Schifrin.
Attention readers: I have been implementing a system that is nothing more than a note to myself; for cues that I want to include in a suite one day, for now on I will denote them with ^ symbol. It has no special meaning to anyone else but myself. No, the lack of an up arrow symbol doesn't mean the cue is bad (it just may have too much SFX or FX for suite use or just isn't worth my time to edit and include). Hence forth this system will be in all future threads and pre-exiting threads that I go back to for missed episodes. Anything in ( ) are just notes to the arrow and you need not bother with that. The system does not mean that I will make a suite or that one has been made, it's simply for my own reference if and when I do decide to.
NO LOAD FOUND.

SEASON 2:
The theme music has been completely redone. In fact, season one only had end credits music, so season two has added opening credits music. And on top of that, the end credits music is completely different from the opening credits music, so it's like getting two new themes.
"Brink of Doom"
By: Philip Springer
https://archive.org/details/medical-center-episodes-28-30/Medical+Center+-+2-01.mp4
This is the final effort by Springer for the series.
Highlights:

Springer's final score is smaller in size, more experimental in approach, and a good final effort. I personally would have liked him to stay on the series and do a score here and there like he had been.

"Undercurrent"

48:40 in.^
On a set of season two scoring, I wouldn't include much of this score. I'd only include 26:05, 31:55, and 48:40.
I hope the rest of the series isn't going to become as preachy as the second season has become.
Also guest starring occasional television composer (back then) Murray MacLeod. We missed out in an alternate universe where John Rubinstein and Murray MacLeod could have co-starred in a buddy drama, which they then scored.

Given Parker worked on a number of western projects up to that time, it's no shock he scored this. In fact, I'm sure he was specifically asked based upon his "Gunsmoke" work.

"Danger Point"
By: George Romanis
https://archive.org/details/medical-center-episodes-28-30/Medical+Center+2-18.mp4
This is the first effort by Romanis for the series. Get used to his name -- he's there all the way to the end. About two years ago I started listing composers in the order of most efforts for the series, in thread titles, so as you can see, Romanis contributed the most scores for the series. There was no other series where he scored this many episodes. I recently finished the composer credits for the series on IMDb, except for a later episode titled "The Prisoners" (the end credits are cut off -- can anybody help?).
Highlights:
0:39 in.^
2:07 in.
4:07 in.^
6:25 in.^
9:21 in.^
10:10 in.^
15:10 in.^
16:57 in.^
20:15 in.^
25:13 in. Joining a cue already in progress for the funky material. Ona set of season two scoring, I might actually lop off everything and start with the funky material.^
26:50 in. I might use this as an opening to the above cue and crossfade them together. That's certainly how I'd do it on a suite.^
31:12 in.^
33:55 in.^
36:06 in.^
39:04 in.^
41:56 in.^
44:55 in.^
48:02 in.^
Based upon this first effort for the series, I'd say he's a welcome addition. I might go as far to say it's one of my personal favorite scores of the series. Certainly one of the series' best efforts.
Tomorrow: I finish season two. All names you've seen before so far into the show.

Parker provides a tender and just off-kilter score to fit the retarded young woman. Just the right amount of colors to indicate childhood, is added into an already strong effort by Parker.
"Edge of Violence"

There's not much score in the episode. It's all pretty standard fare material and low key at that; on a set of season two scoring, I'd skip this episode score to make room for more cues from episodes already covered.
"The Man in Hiding"
By: George Romanis

A lot of quiet moody material. On a set of season two scoring, I would probably only take 1:30, 33:15 and the pre-end-credits title card.

"The Shattered Man"
By: George Romanis
https://archive.org/details/medical-center-season-3/Medical+Center+03-07.mp4
Highlights:
17:54 in.^
25:08 in. A fairly short dramatic piece in an otherwise uneventful episode score.^
37:23 in.^
39:06 in. A short and more lightly dramatic piece that I think would work very well as an opener to 25:08; cue stops, a beat of silence, then the next cue begins. That's how it will be on a potential suite if I can ever do one.^
47:53 in.^
49:09 in.^
A bunch of boring low-key material that on a set of season three scoring, I'd only take 25:08 and 39:06.

33:37 in.^

In my personal opinion I would say this is a second tier effort for the series.

40:12 in.^
43:02 in.^
44:13 in. An emotional string-heavy cue that is over five and-a-half minutes long.^
I'm not sure why Morton had to co-score the first part and why he wasn't there for the second part, but based upon this sole effort, I think Romanis was capable of doing this all by himself.

SEASON 4:
"Vision of Doom"

Highlights:
0:39 in.^
1:21 in.^
6:40 in.^
9:46 in.^
14:59 in. There's a chance that cue after the commercial break is tracked from his one episode score (released by LLLR) to the series "Most Wanted". Either that or it's remarkably similar.^

"Cycle of Peril"

Some strong cues, but on the whole I'd put it as a second tier effort. I've heard overall better efforts from the series before. Why this one got the nomination, who knows...
Courage's score was nominated for an Emmy (and it's the only score from the series to be nominated). The other competition that year (1973):
"Love, American Style"
Episode: Not specified
Composer: Charles Fox
(WINNER)
"Ironside"
Episode: Not specified
Composer: Marty Paich
(Only three nominees that year; wow, really? Shocking)

"Wall of Silence"
By: John Parker

I'd say this is one of the series' best episode scores, with a memorable seven-note theme. Say what you will about Parker re-using ideas and having similar themes and orchestrations on scores here and there across multiple series, but when he does a good score, he does a good score all that aside.
I cited nearly all the score, so I might as well say the entire score should be released.

A theme that sounds familiar (perhaps from another score not from this show and not by Parker, or a song maybe), but lovely nonetheless. I'd say this might be one of the series' best scores. There's not a lot of variation in the theme's use though, so some might be put off by that.
I should note medical professionals have complained in online comments about medical TV series and machines beeping and making a flat-tone sound for the heart, that in real life they don't make those noises in hospitals. This is the second episode I can recall where the machine is silent. Though there is a cheat this time -- Parker mimics the sounds with woodwinds for the flat-line reading.
