i am sure it can't not if the doctor didn't see the patient
No, that is Doctor/patient confidentiality. Saying that, that is the law in England, if you asking this in another country then I am not sure.
The doctor needs to notify the patient in writing. The doctor also need to see the patient for a period of time for emergencies. Typically, this is 4 weeks. Also, depending on the patient's insurance, the doctor may need to notify the insurance company too. It is a good idea for the doctor to also suggest some other doctors for the patient to see, or give a source for those.
If you're talking about the bill for a medical visit, that will come from your doctor or hospital. It often takes 30-90 days for that process to play through and for you to see the bill. The patient typically receives a medical bill once the payer has paid their portion.

A patient has the right to their records although there is a fee (at least in Canada) but it's minimal. Since your doctor died, then either there is another physician that took his place and they would have your records or, the doctor's office would usually tell you of another doctor to see and when you do they will automatically pass your records to them. If there is another doctor that took the place of your doctor and you don't care to be treated by him/her you can request your medical records be released. They will make you sign a document of release.
Close medical surveillance must continue for the rest of the patient's life. I
yes they can. It is a patients right and choice to refuse any drugs prescribed by a doctor. A doctor can technically, only advice the patient to take the medication. If the child is a minor than it is the adults choice.
The patient returns to the doctor the day after surgery for assessment, with several follow-up visits over the next two months to monitor the healing process.
