Medic is an American medical drama television series that aired on NBC from
September 13, 1954, to August 27, 1956. It was television's first doctor
drama to focus attention on medical procedures.

Created by its principal writer James E. Moser, Medic tried to
create realism (City Hospital and The Doctor had not) which would typify
subsequent medical shows. Moser had previously written for the radio shows
Dragnet and Dr. Kildare.

Medic episodes were introduced and narrated by Richard Boone, playing Dr.
Konrad Styner who sometimes also appeared in the stories. Fifty-nine segments
aired from September 1954 to November 1956.

The series was introduced each week by theme music written by Victor Young.
Eventually, with lyrics added by Edward Heyman, the song became popular
under the title "Blue Star."
