No problem. It’s the same thing. It used to be called Extreme Unction, and was for people imminently going to die. Now Sacrament of the Sick. You don’t have to be dying, just ill

One strange thing about the article is, anointing for the sick or dying does not use holy water, but it does use oil. Is this bad reporting on the part of the writer of this article or confusion on the part of the victim, who said the priest anointed her with water, and then used "lotion"?

Last time I was in the ICU, I experienced an extended bout of a well-known phenomenon called "ICU psychosis." I was paranoid and hallucinating. I remember bi and pieces of this quite well.

Is it possible this poor woman is an unreliable narrator?
