Bob Barker's recent visits to the hospital are the result of an injury he sustained from a fall in his home in 2017. This followed a similar incident in 2015 when the game-show host fell during a morning walk near his Hollywood Hills home.

Barker seemed to have bounced back from his 2017 fall, but in late October his housekeeper called an ambulance when the game-show host woke up with intense back pain.
