this is definitely an eye opener. I'm a poster or jdu and xoxohth and all I hear is "I wish I went to med school, etc." I guess similarly to law, lay people assume being a doctor is a key to riches.

Well, compared to law, medicine is clearly still a good gig.
However, I think mdunderground is important because it will get the word out, much like JDU, and hopefully before it's too late.
I post here as well as SDN, but the focus of my posting on this site is the rise of the "doctor nurse", the student loan crisis in medical schools, the coming residency bloodbath, and other misconceptions pre-meds/med students/residents/attendings/the public may have regarding a career in medicine.
It's funny, I'm a big fan of JDU, and I laugh whenever I see people wanting to go to med school, or even worse, pharmacy school.

Out of curiosity, why is pharmacy school worse than med school?
I don't have a desire to go to pharmacy school, but many people have told me that I should go (or should have gone. I wound up doing to law school). The number one reason I didn't go to med school (well, arguably), was that I didn't think I could stomach cutting into people. I was not super-comfortable in anatomy lab. So people tend to say I should've went the pharmacy route instead.
I'm wondering what the downsides are to the pharmacy field. Is it oversupplied?

Pharmacy is definitely oversupplied. It isn't as bad as law, and the jobs are all 80-120k starting, for now, but I imagine the first and second years currently (out of 6 years) will face massive unemployment coming out of pharmacy schools. SDN is crawling with threads about it.
