It’s not “Last Rites” anymore.
It’s Anointing of the Sick.

The words “Last Rites” scared me so much that I didn’t get the Sacrament before surgery. I did okay but I wish I would have.

Well, even when it was widely called “Last Rites,” it was generally recommended that any Catholic going through substantial medical procedures receive the sacrament.

Full “Last Rites” is Confession, Anointing of the Sick, and Communion. And the Plenary Indulgence for the Dying is not to be sneezed at!

Well, in the old days, it was "Extreme Unction", which certainly sounds better than 'Last Rites'.
