Or, I go to a doctor, who is a medically trained professional, and they prescribe a medicine to me based on their experience and training, without any incentive for financial reward?

Do you think that doctors don't have financial incentives to treat patients?

My doctor is certainly not backed by investors who are putting her under pressure if she doesn't make 10% ROI.

They should have an incentive to treat them, they shouldn't have an incentive to suggest specific medication.

No, I don't pay the doctor, the healthcare pool does. And then, the doctor is incentivised to cure me, not keep me in a perpetual drug-purchasing lifestyle as big pharma would.

Not where I live. This is a uniquely US problem among first-world countries.

You need to go to a doctor anyway. Not all of them are good, and imo they shouldn't have absolute say in what you take. If you suggest some medication you saw an advertisement for, they should take it into consideration instead of telling you to stfu about it. Yes, my experience with doctors has been terrible.
