They were thinking it was funny for the low IQ person like Susan who was rattled by the news of her aging to blame the diagnosis on poor medical training. Usually this type of joke is on Mexican medical schools, but I think they have improved too much. I don't know of any Filipino doctors, mostly just nurses by the dozen. Nobody should be offended by this, doesn't mean some people aren't though.

Everyone knows Susan is a ditzy lady who frequently ends up with foot in mouth or crashing through a floor or doing some other thing to leave things in shambles.
Often, these lines name some other country. Whichever one was chosen, someone would be insulted. Perhaps they could have come up with an alternate line, but it does point out Susan's fumbling ways. No matter what she says, it likely will be wrong. Sometimes a character's prejudices are there for us to laugh at, just as we did at Archie Bunker and George Jefferson.
In this PC age, there is a constant risk of offense to someone. This series is known for overstepping boundaries.
However, I do think it's strange and disturbing that no one bothers to defend overweight people and/or the elderly. They're prime targets for "comedy".
