If someone is pulled out of stage 3 hypothermia, is there any major damage they would have done to their body?

I don't know if this helps . . .


Stage 4 - Post-rescue collapse

The effects on your body after you are pulled from the water can include the following:

Loss of hydrostatic pressure from the water causes a sudden drop in blood pressure. This can cause heart or brain failure.
Your heart is cold and cannot pump cold blood effectively to maintain blood pressure.
Your lungs are damaged from the water you inhaled. This can cause a pneumonia-like illness.
Fatal bleeding from injuries may occur as your body warms up and your blood flows more freely. You may have internal injuries or injuries to your head and neck that you and your rescuers are not aware of. Up to 20 percent of all survivors die during rescue or shortly after.

I don't know if that was scarcasm, but if not you're very wrong. Hypothermia can actually heal a damaged spinal cord.

No, you don't get brain damage either.
