Please make sure you are going to echo the variable

Echoing a variable:

<?= $echoable_variable_here ?> // Use <?= ?> tags
or
<?php echo $echoable_variable_here ?> // Use echo inside <?php ?> tags

Edit: You have placed echo outside the href attribute tag

Therefore,

Change this:

<a href="./patientrecord.php?patient_id="<?php $row["patient_id"]?>><?php echo $row["surname"];?></a>

to:

<a href="./patientrecord.php?patient_id=<?php echo $row["patient_id"]?>"><?php echo $row["surname"];?></a>

or to:

<a href="./patientrecord.php?patient_id=<?= $row["patient_id"] ?>"><?php echo $row["surname"];?></a>
