crack team

[TomC25]

I heard someone say the phrase "crack team of surgeons"

I for one would not want crack addicted doctors working on me

where does this saying come from?

 

[Russ]

I think it's short for "Cracker Jack".

And why do they call what they do a practice?

 

[StageLeft]

Probably military "crack troops", dunno where they got it.

I think that crack is a highly concentrated form of cocaine, so that could mean that a crack team of doctors is highly cocentrated? What are they, boiled down?
