This was exactly my experience when I worked for a medical software startup. Our (very unfinished) software got deployed in a hospital with no training, no orientation, no nothing, and it was such a disaster that it was a patient safety issue. Mind you, the engineering team had no say in any of this, not that we were even given the chance, and we weren't even aware that the deployment was for real. We were under the impression that the deployment was for testing purposes, because we were aware that the software was unfinished.
It was a breathtakingly poor decision purely on the part of managers (and, frankly, sales) on both sides of that deal and it was doctors and patients who suffered because of it. An absolute nightmare all around and I'm glad to no longer be there.
