AN INJURY RESULTING FROM A FALL LAID BARKER LOW

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.

His second visit to the hospital in November worried fans, who saw it as a sign of his advanced age and fragility. Those fears have now been allayed by Barker's cheery demeanor and patent good health.
