GR translation: syringe and spike

[David Morris]

V47.28-32, P48.21-25   Kevin Spectro will take his syringe and spike
away a dozen
times tonight, into the dark, to sedate Fox (his generic term for any
patient—run
three times around the building without thinking of a fox and you can cure
anything).
—————————

I don’t think that there is ANY ambiguity in the words above about
noun/verb roles:

1.  “Syringe” is a noun.

2.  “[To] spike” is a verb.

Period.
