[ad_1] Bravo, ladies. This is how you prove Quad isn’t a necessary ingredient in the delicacy that is Married to Medicine. Things were getting bleak for a second, but we can rejoice and savor this episode as a treat for surviving the last few weeks.

‘Married to Medicine’ Recap, Season 10, Episode 8
[ad_1] What is that I hear? Is that the sound of Vicki Gunvalson’s fake snore? I doubt Vicki watched (I imagine when she’s not doing Bravo things and working at Coto Insurance, she seals herself in a cryogenic chamber to maintain her facelifts), but if there were a live feed of me watching the episode, […]
