You are right, its probably no longer recommended because they use a "modified Milwaukee protocol" now. That being said the MP is a last ditch effort and often fails. Its just the best option we have if someone is outside of the window for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
Treatment success rates:
Vaccination: ~100%
PEP: ~100%
MP: ~8%
So MP provides a slightly less than 1/10 chance for life when the patient would face otherwise certain death.
