Aji Sinera “caused havoc” at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton after doctors checked on her.
Sinera, 28, refused to leave so had security called on her. She spat, kicked out and threw stones at them on December 7, 2022.
Both described “feeling disgusted” as Sinera “caused general havoc at the hospital”. They went to A&E to be checked due to the spit landing on their faces.
She tried to go back in and was taken back out of the hospital so threw stones at both security guards, Lewes Crown Court heard.

Sinera, of Hereford Street, Brighton, then broke two wing mirrors off two parked cars which totalled more than £800 worth of damage. One of the cars belonged to a staff member at the hospital. She was later arrested by police.
The court heard that Sinera had six convictions for 23 offences, one of which included spitting at police officers including “directly into one officer’s mouth” in May last year.
For this, she was sentenced for causing actual bodily harm and assault by beating
She had also previously been sentenced for possessing class A and class B drugs.
The court also heard that her offending all took place when she was intoxicated.
She had already been given a sentence suspended for two years for one of her previous convictions.
Judge Matthew Chapman KC said: “Because you would not move you swung punches at these guards and spat in their face. You were taken to the boundary of the hospital and threw stones at their face.
“You were arrested before you could create more havoc.
“You do need to stay away from alcohol and cannabis. Your offending and vulnerability are linked to the misuse of those substances.
“Hospital security guards should be able to serve an important purpose without the fear they are spat on.”
Sinera was jailed for ten weeks. She will serve five weeks and spend the rest on licence.
She pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity to two counts of assault by beating of an emergency worker and two counts of criminal damage.
