The Kentucky doctor who was violently dragged off a United Airlines plane is currently recovering in a Chicago hospital, according to a report Tuesday.

David Dao, 69, of Elizabethtown, Ky., told WLKY.com from his hospital bed that he was not doing well.

When asked what hurt, Dao replied, “Everything,” according to the TV news channel.

His loved ones said Dao was grateful for all the support he received after the now-viral video of the incident sparked major backlash against United on social media.

“The family of Dr. Dao wants the world to know that they are very appreciative of the outpouring of prayers, concern and support they have received,” his lawyer, Stephen Golan, wrote in a statement to CNBC.
