Is the Anointing of the Sick a Good Thing?

The catechism says that the anointing of the sick can also be given to people who are going in, let's say, for like a major surgery. And it is unfortunate you don't see these things really in protestantism either. For example, crismatian, you see in acts 18, eight, 16 17, they don't receive the spirit until the apostles lay hands on them,. Eveno after they've been baptized. It seems, again, to me, just not doing everything the scriptures say.
