The hematocrit blood test determines the percentage of red blood cells (RBC's) in the blood. Blood is composed mainly of red blood cells and white blood cells suspended in an almost clear fluid called serum. The hematocrit test indicates the percentage of blood by volume that is composed of red blood cells. The condition called anemia results from having too few red blood cells. Anemia causes a variety of symptoms. The hematocrit is a basic test that can tell a physician a lot about a person's health.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Place the short ribs on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the ribs from the oven, and then reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (149 degrees C).
Place the pork ribs meat side up onto an ungreased cookie sheet and rub them with any style of pork rub, or any kind of seasonings of your choice. Let them stand for at least 5 minutes to allow the rub to penetrate the meat. Cook the pork ribs for about 2 1/2 hours. To test if they're done, slice a small amount of meat away from the bone; when the meat is tender and white, cooking is complete. The meat should not be pink; if it is, keep cooking the ribs until they're ready.
