Except that a disturbing number of doctors insist that they are always right and you are always wrong.

A year ago, one insisted vehemently—to the point of yelling—that I shouldn't be supplementing Vitamin K because my potassium levels were fine.

OMG! This doctor shouldn't be practicing medicine if he thinks Vitamin K is potassium.

OTOH Vitamin K can cause blood clots.* I assume you know this and are being appropriately attentive to the issue.

* The K comes from Koagulationsvitamin which it was called in Danish when first discovered.

vit k does not cause blood clots

As opposed to what group of humans?

I can only presume that they got the atomic symbol for potassium (K) mixed up with vitamin K. That’s so wrong it crosses over into being “not even wrong” but entirely wrong and beside the point. I hope they aren’t your doctor anymore, or anyone’s. Please tell me you reported this incident to the state medical board.
