I'll say 2.
Caracasus, Lord Dominator, The geeses commonwealth of goosedom, Turbeaux, and 1 otherCanaltia
I think I will submit one as well:
1. I write fugues.
2. I am a monarchist.
3. I am a goose I admire modern Norway.
4. I design board games.

1?
Caracasus, Lord Dominator, Turbeaux, and Canaltia
Yes I did. It never really caught on though. Worth noting that all the modelling I did was between the ages of like maybe, 6-14. I was a child model. It was well paid, but pretty infrequent - like a job every few months. It mostly wound down with the recession. I got maybe 3 jobs from 2008-2011.
Its 2. You did set the tree on fire.
Caracasus, Frieden-und Freudenland, Mount Seymour, Lord Dominator, and 3 othersThe geeses commonwealth of goosedom, Turbeaux, and Canaltia
1 and 2 seem entirely plausible to me. 4 is also fairly plausible (depending slightly on what counts as "few") and I'd like to do you the credit of discounting 3 - so I think I'm going to say 3. You've succeeded in picking pretty tough options though.

3 truths and 1 lie.
1) I once stabbed a patient in the wrist over eighteen times in one day, to no medical benefit.
2) Intestines are delicious to me, I love how chewy they are.
3) My children's favourite fluffy toy is named "Rectum", because it has a hole in its butt you can push things into.
4) If I see a stranger having a cardiac arrest on a train, I almost certainly wouldn't give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, even thought I know how, and even if it might save their life.

3?
1 and 4 seem to corroborate, and 2 sounds so outrageous that it must be true?
Caracasus, Frieden-und Freudenland, Lord Dominator, Turbeaux, and 1 otherCanaltia
1 could be an allergy test for a hypochondriac. (Hence, no medical benefit.)
2 - maybe you just like Turkish sucuk :) Just kidding, but I can imagine Chinese cuisine having a recipe with intestines.
3 - weird but why not?
4- I think mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for cardiac arrest may be uncalled for, even harmful. So I'll say 4. (I looked it up online, and found out that some people do say that. Please educate me if I'm wrong. I think I need first-aid training.)
Caracasus, Lord Dominator, The geeses commonwealth of goosedom, Uan aa Boa, and 2 othersTurbeaux, and Canaltia
1 sounds like it would be plausible medically if you explained it properly. Given what little I know about Chinese food 2 is plausible as well. I can absolutely picture how 3 would come about and I think 4 would be the advice you're given by your professional body. Basically I'm stumped - any of 1, 2 or 3 might be untrue.
Caracasus, Frieden-und Freudenland, Lord Dominator, Turbeaux, and 1 otherCanaltia
Gonna guess 3.
Edit: My reasoning being, of course, that you're a cannibal, who murders people (as per 1 & 4) for their intestines. Pretty obvious.
Caracasus, Frieden-und Freudenland, Lord Dominator, The geeses commonwealth of goosedom, and 3 othersUan aa Boa, Turbeaux, and Canaltia
I just realized that my reasoning in 4 is completely off. If mouth-to-mouth resuscitation can be harmful, this would be an argument for the truth of this point, not its falsity.
In that case, I'll switch to 3. I think your children are quite young (right? that's what I remember) and would they know the word 'rectum'? If a stuffed toy were to be named 'rectum' in your house, I suspect that suggestion could only have come from you. But then, you told us that your wife disapproves of your cheeky sense of humor, so maybe she wouldn't have allowed you to name the kids' toy Rectum.
I'll say 3.
Caracasus, Lord Dominator, The geeses commonwealth of goosedom, Uan aa Boa, and 1 otherTurbeaux
I'm guessing 2. 1 and 4 seem specific and 3 doesn't seem like something you'd lie about.
I guess 2 again. I don't imagine people thinking of fugues unless they wrote them (I had to look it up), admiring Norway seems strangely specific and -- between 2 and 4 -- 4 seems to go better with the others.
1 and 4 could have plausible medical explanations and (depending on the age of the child) I could imagine a child having a fluffy toy named "rectum".
Again, I pick 2.

Okay, I'll play. Three truths, one lie (and all fairly mundane):
1) I have never been to France
2) I once told a persistent JW I was a Satanist to make her leave me alone
3) As a small child, my favourite game was to "auction" things to my parents' friends for real money then take the item back and keep the money
4) I am allergic to penicillin
Caracasus, Frieden-und Freudenland, Lord Dominator, The geeses commonwealth of goosedom, and 1 otherTurbeaux
1) It's kinda easy to travel from the UK to France, but I don't know.
2) That's something I can imagine you doing :)
3) Aww, that's cute!
4) Maybe?
-----
I'll say 1. You've been to France.
Caracasus, Lord Dominator, and Turbeaux
Yup! I wasn't the smartest kid (see statement number 2) but I only wrote my first name. They still found out it was me though. For number 4, at a rough estimate I reckon about 20% of kids around about my age made it out OK, which I feel sorta comes under a few. Pretty rough estate all told.
1. The patient was a cadaver used for medical training purposes.
2. I can imagine that yeah.
3. This one seems very specific, and believable so I think this is the lie.
4. I reckon the added chance of it helping is so slight you decide not to risk infection.
Gonna guess... 4.
I'm thinking #1
Frieden-und Freudenland, Lord Dominator, The geeses commonwealth of goosedom, and Turbeaux
You know you live in New England when #1
You try to open the windows to let some fresh air into your stuffy room and realize that the windows are frozen, so you have to melt the ice with a hair dryer first.
Sacara, Caracasus, Jutsa, Lord Dominator, and 2 othersTurbeaux, and Canaltia
4 because mouth-to-mouth would do nothing for cardiac arrest.
Also, 
Mount Seymour was correct with #2. I forgot that I had my gender listed in my Forest forum profile. However, I would like to point out that I could have transitioned.
Frieden-und Freudenland, Lord Dominator, Canaltia, and The mongol forest
I'm going to say 2 just because my mental picture of you is as someone who would have a difficult time persuading anyone they were a Satanist, and I think you actually are a member of a church so you'd probably say that. It's a bit surprising that you've never been to France (school trips even?) but I can just about buy that.
CWA said if it might save their life, so that objection is covered in the scenario. I think mouth to mouth would help if the person had stopped breathing. But I think doctors are probably advised that they open themselves up to being sued if they try to help when off duty and it ends badly.
Anyway, here's mine.
1. I'm a member of the Green Party.
2. I once told the Archbishop of York to get out of the way.
3. There's a book on philosophical ethics that credits one of its ideas to me in a footnote.
4. I shook hands with Princess Diana.

4? You do not seem like a royalist.
Lord Dominator, The geeses commonwealth of goosedom, Uan aa Boa, Canaltia, and 1 otherThe mongol forest
Okay, I was going to wait till tomorrow, but I'll reveal now given the level of responses.
The answer was 1.
1) I once stabbed a patient in the wrist over eighteen times in one day, to no medical benefit.
Untrue. It was only six times.
As a newly qualified doctor I worked on a renal medicine ward, and my seniors told me to get an Arterial Blood Gas from a nice lady's radial artery. Between the oedematous fluid around her wrist and her diminished circulation, this usually simple test was incredibly difficult.
I tried twice, and failed to get any flashback of blood into the needle. I asked my senior for help. He told me that senior doctors don't have time to do these procedures, and to try again. I tried twice again. I came back and explained I didn't think it was possible. I was told of course it was possible, and to try again. I tried twice more. On failing on these occasions I told my consultant that while I respected their authority, I had now put a needle six times into the same place on a woman's body, causing her increasing pain, and would he please do it.
He tried once, declared it not possible because of the oedema and the poor circulation, and said that we could work out her management based on her venous blood profile that we already had, so never mind.
2) Intestines are delicious to me, I love how chewy they are.
True. Yep, this is a Chinese favourite. Really yummy. Pigs intestines, of course.
3) My children's favourite fluffy toy is named "Rectum", because it has a hole in its butt you can push things into.
True. It's a battery-operated singing Christmas penguin that me and my wife bought before we have kids, and it didn't have batteries included. My wife asked me where the batteries went. I said there was a hole in the rectum. So she named it Rick the Rectum Penguin, which within a month was just Rectum.
When my kids came along we began getting it out every Christmas, and one time my wife said "hey, can you pass Rectum over" and my son clicked that was it's name, and fell about laughing, and now they know its name too.
4) If I see a stranger having a cardiac arrest on a train, I almost certainly wouldn't give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, even thought I know how, and even if it might save their life.
True. General resus council advice is that the priority is keeping circulation going, and if you're giving life support without a face mask or other barrier between you and a stranger, it is considered both reasonable and usual to leave off the rescue breathing and just concentrate on chest compression. This is because you don't know what infections someone might have, you don't know if they have any noxious substances near their mouth, you don't know if they're going to suddenly bite you, you don't know if they'll wake up and think they're being assaulted. This affects survival outcomes a little, but actually the biggest and most important thing to do is to get a defibrillator attached to the patient ASAP. I used to carry a pocket mask to give mouth to mouth, but after so many years as a doc and never once seeing a cardiac arrest outside of work, I stopped keeping it in my coat.

That's quite tricky and all are fairly plausible.
1. This fits with your broad ethos.
2. Yeah I can imagine that, especially as bishops can only move diagonally.
3. Again, plausible given your education and interests.
4. I know you worked for charities, so again plausible.
I am gonna go with 1 actually. Membership of the green party being the odd one out as it's not that noteworthy.

I'ma say 1 too. I imagine siding with an almost irrelevant party is probably not what you did.
