How to Answer
As a biomedical technician, you work on expensive equipment every day. When asked this question don't show defeat but show that you are confident in your skills! Talk about how it motivates you to troubleshoot and fix the item correctly. Perhaps the satisfaction that you achieve from knowing you saved millions of dollars is what keeps you going on the most stressful of days. Let the interviewer know that the price of the item doesn't detour you from performing your job.
