Just found out how much money ONE machine I work on generates, and I’m a bit upset

Long story short I work on various forms of hospital equipment. Had an issue with a customer and talked to a doctor about their X-ray machine. It is down for the foreseeable future until I can get a replacement part. Had a short argument but he drove home “that machine averages 40 X-rays a day. We’re losing $15k everyday it’s down” so I crunched the numbers and given they’re a 24hr facility I can say that’s fairly accurate. So they’re charging essentially $375ish per X-ray. That makes more than 5 million annually produced by this machine. I don’t make anywhere near that, nor do I make anywhere close to even $100,000. Really puts things into perspective and now I’m feeling a bit like I need a raise or a new job
