Bob Barker, the former host of The Price Is Right, is back in the hospital. This is his second visit in the past two months. He was rushed to the hospital on Sunday, November 18, 2018, for severe back pain. He suffered a back injury earlier this year and it seems he is still having some pain management issues.
Barker suffered from a non-emergency back injury earlier this year. The Los Angeles Fire Department came to his Hollywood Hills residence to assist him. He went back to the hospital because of the pain in late October. It seems his severe back pain stemmed from the injury this year. Reports say that he fell on the sidewalk outside his home.

He could go home as early as today, Monday, November 19, 2018. Barker’s representative said that the 94-year-old was responsive and doing okay. He is at Cedars-Sinai hospital and was brought in by ambulance on Sunday afternoon.
